Only if i try to open more things at same time (many terminals doing dmesg, many videos playing, some 3d game) it starts to get slower. so clearly the high is too much, low is enough for most use cases and mid would be perfect. Auto will not put it in mid. That is why i wanted to manually setup the mid level, the computer keeps cool and the gpu power is good enough for almost all load (other than heavy 3D games) also, its a little strange that low and high is supported in dpm setting, but not the mid... profile setting had the low, mid, high and the auto -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
