INTEL_GPU_POWER_PROFILE_ON_AC/BAT/SAV
Intel GPU
Version 1.10 and newer
INTEL_GPU_POWER_PROFILE_ON_AC=base
INTEL_GPU_POWER_PROFILE_ON_BAT=base
INTEL_GPU_POWER_PROFILE_ON_SAV=power_saving
Select power profile for Intel Arc and Xe GPUs. Supported by the xe driver only (kernel 6.18 and newer). Possible values:
base
power_saving
Default when unconfigured: base (AC), base (BAT), power_saving (SAV)
INTEL_GPU_MIN/MAX/BOOST_FREQ_ON_AC/BAT
Intel GPU
INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_AC=0
INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_BAT=0
INTEL_GPU_MAX_FREQ_ON_AC=0
INTEL_GPU_MAX_FREQ_ON_BAT=0
INTEL_GPU_BOOST_FREQ_ON_AC=0
INTEL_GPU_BOOST_FREQ_ON_BAT=0
Set the min/max/turbo frequency for Intel GPUs. Supported by the xe and ì915 drivers. Possible values depend on your hardware. See the output of tlp-stat -g for available frequencies.
RADEON_DPM_PERF_LEVEL_ON_AC/BAT/SAV
AMD GPU
RADEON_DPM_PERF_LEVEL_ON_AC=auto
RADEON_DPM_PERF_LEVEL_ON_BAT=auto
Version 1.9 and newer
RADEON_DPM_PERF_LEVEL_ON_BAT=low
Controls the Dynamic power management (DPM) performance level of AMD GPUs. Supported by the amdgpu and radeon drivers. Possible values:
auto – dynamically select the optimal power profile for current conditions (recommended)
low – lock the clocks to the lowest state
high – lock the clocks to the highest state (beware of overheating on hardware with limited cooling)
Default when unconfigured: Default: auto (AC), auto (BAT), low (SAV)
RADEON_DPM_STATE_ON_AC/BAT
AMD GPU
This parameter is deprecated since version 1.10, do not use anymore
RADEON_DPM_STATE_ON_AC=performance
RADEON_DPM_STATE_ON_BAT=balanced
Controls the power management method of AMD GPUs. Possible values:
battery
balanced
performance
AMDGPU_ABM_LEVEL_ON_AC/BAT/SAV
AMD GPU
Version 1.7 and newer
AMDGPU_ABM_LEVEL_ON_AC=0
AMDGPU_ABM_LEVEL_ON_BAT=1
Version 1.9 and newer
AMDGPU_ABM_LEVEL_ON_SAV=3
Enable display panel Adaptive Backlight Modulation (ABM) of AMD GPUs. Possible levels are:
0 – off
1..4 – maximum brightness reduction allowed by the ABM algorithm, 1 represents the least and 4 the most power saving
Notes:
Requires AMD Vega or newer GPU with the amdgpu driver as of kernel 6.9
Savings are made at the expense of color balance
Default when unconfigured: 0 (AC), 1 (BAT), 3 (SAV)
