The main Navi-specific issue has been fixed with newer kernels (that affected everyone), but there is another issue relating to high resolution and high refresh rate monitors, that looks to affect at least Navi, Vega (and probably Polaris going by other reports). The secondary issue is probably by design to an extent. High res/refresh rate requires a lot more bandwidth which needs a higher memory clock. However, I suspect there are two problems within this: - Once a high bandwidth mode is used and the maximum memory clock is chosen, it never switches down again (even if you switch to a lower bandwidth mode). Particularly, if you boot at 2560x1440@144hz, you won't be able to switch down again. - The choice of memory clock is higher than it needs to be, even for high bandwidth modes You can workaround this to some extent on Vega by writing to the powerplay tables (while in a high bandwidth mode) and, in the case of Vega, the card will stay in the more reasonable memory clock of 700mhz (versus the max of 950mhz). However, if you then switch to any other high bandwidth mode (e.g. 2560x1440@120), the problem will return (card stuck at 950mhz). I don't recommend trying that on Navi as powerplay table writing is currently buggy without reverting a commit, I haven't confirmed the behaviour there, but I suspect the same workaround will work.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
