I am having much better experience myself even without commands to force the power performance level by doing: - change game to windowed or full-screen borderless (fixed window) - disable vsync - disable frame limiter by doing the above 3, it seems that GPU is forced into max power state all the time while playing. I have been using this method for a few days with DXVK games and I had no freeze so far. But again this is just a temporary workaround. So is the command to manually force high power performance level. Hopefully a permanent fix comes with AMDGPU/Kernel updates.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
