Underclock AMD GPU
Underclock AMD GPU
Recently installed Linux Mint on an old computer. I put my old RX 590 in it. I only upgrade from the 590 because on every boot on my windows machine I would need to go into adrenaline and underclock the GPU a bit to stop it from crashing when I tried to play games. Adrenaline isn't a thing on Linux so I have no idea how to go about doing this now. Would prefer it just be set there on every boot but I am willing to do it manually each time I start the machine.
I did install the driver from AMDs website but otherwise I'm pretty much at a loss.

thats actually your first issue, don't do that if you want to use it for gaming
the amd driver included in your linux kernel out of the box is already the best option for gaminganyway checkout https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl
which allows you to restrain the power usage (which is probably your issue?) and/or underclock the GPU
you can run Corectrl at boot so it automatically applies its settingscorectrl is in the repo for mint i believe and it works for my rx 480. Give it a shot.
I will try it when I get home. Thank you!
Use the default mesa drivers and use corectrl. Depending on the version of mint you're using, you might need to install the appropriate ppas (just google them, you'll find them)
Got core control working. Did have to update something in the Kernel to get full control and access to stepping but it's working perfectly now.
