Linux is fucking awesome

"oh, i don't know what this native english speaker is saying, i guess english is still a skill i'm working on"

I'm no native English speaker as well, and that's how I often think as well. In my mother tongue I know so many words, their meaning and their sound. In English, however, I'm still learning new words now and then, and it opens my world to the language every time. This is true for dialects as well.

Learning a new language is quite hard in the beginning, but it's so satisfying and world opening when you start to actually use a new language.

edit Ohh, and sorry for my bad English ;)

I FIXED AMD's Preferred Core Linux patch to FINALLY work for HIGHER BOOST and PERFORMANCE !

Reply in thread

It's not just random, it simply does not even work. Because they set this:

+/*Preferred Core featue is supported*/
+static bool prefcore = true;

And later in the code they do the if condition wrong:

+	if (prefcore)
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD);
+	else
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF(cap1));

if should look like this:

+	if (prefcore)
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF(cap1));
+	else
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD);

There is probably even more wrong, looking at the code quality, but this at least makes the preferred core work.

GTAV doesn't run as good as Native

Reply in thread

GTAV works better with AMDVLK, as one of the very few games out there. You could give that a shot, but be aware that AMDVLK often gets selected as default, so having AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV in your global Env. Variables are a good idea.

And then launching GTAV with AMD_VULKAN_ICD=AMDVLK %command%.
