On windows, everybody uses afterburner to overclock/undervolt.

What options do we have on linux (I have an nvidia gpu)?

      Did you manage to get similar performance on Linux? Halo Infinite on windows 10 gives me an average of 150fps with medium settings, on Linux I get 70fps with he low prest and more stuttering. I use gamemode as well. My GPU is rtx 3070.

    Thanks for asking. I stole this thread as an opportunity to ask :

    I have an AMD RX 580 (Mesa 22.3.6). Have you any recommended tool to underclock this GPU ?

    I’ve had some annoying coil whine lately, would really like to shut it up a little.

    I’d also be interested in it. I got a work laptop that has a good battery, but it’s an i7 and I mainly need to SSH and use FF, so I think I could undervolt/underclock quite a bit.

      Ubuntu has some pretty sensible presets for that, I use them by default when I’m on battery. It’s called power profile and there is performance, balanced, and power saver. The only application where responsiveness really suffers is gmail 🤡

      Pretty sure those are present in other distros, too. My understanding is that they really just limit per draw.
