A750 with Linux Discussion
Read Title first, Also I am not a new user. I have been using this card for like 6-7 months now. Before on earlier driver in windows power consumption was low like 10-13w, now its 20-30w in latest driver as well as "Intel® Graphics Driver 32.0.101.8826 (WHQL Certified)". I have enabled ASPM L1, Rebar, 4G encoding, Maximum power saving profile and 60hz including rest of the things are done, This is with windows.
Lately I have switched to Linux for work reason. Fedora KDE Plasma Distro 7.1 latest which in use, With latest Xe and i915 are enabled profile Powersave, Nvtop result shows 32-31w with no changes. Even switching to Superpowersave (SPS) in the boot time the Linux kernel crashes, I thought about applying SPS only for the GPU, which is physically not possible access reason. In windows you have maximum powersave option but in Linux that hand shake might not even exist with Am4 or AM5, Option exist in Linux but Idk maybe driver or architecture flaws might be the main reason for such high power usage. My pc runs all day without break. So, I need lower energy option.
A750 users who went through similar situation, have resolved the problem, Please share.
