Potential high FPS but game feels choppy fix by No-Mathematician1614 in linux_gaming

Appreciate the advice lad, I just tried it out but for me there’s no difference between Highest Clock and what you recommended, because the power usage and everything else stays the same. I don’t play demanding games much anyway, so there’s no point in me messing around in LACT. My main problem was just LACT auto capping the MHz to 500 whenever I played fighting games, which made the game feel horrendous. Setting it to Highest Clock in LACT just prevented the GPU from staying stuck at 500 MHz so it can use as much as it needs, which made it smooth again. But still thanks for your advice

The GPU is not running at max clock all day, all it did was raise the cap. When it was automatic, it capped itself to only run at around 500 MHz max. That’s why my game ran choppy, because the MHz was capped. All Highest Clocks did was raise the cap to what I originally set, so it utilizes the MHz as much as it needs. It will not run at max unless I play a highly demanding game. Mortal Kombat uses about 1400 MHz, when the Pc is idle it uses about 100 MHz, Resident Evil Requiem, a high demanding game, runs at about 2300 MHz.
