amdgpu-profile-switcher

amdgpu-profile-switcher is a simple tool that automatically switches profiles for AMDGPU, not a overclock/undervolt tool.
The tool switches between perf level (power_dpm_force_performance_level) and power_profile (pp_power_profile_mode) depending on the process program name. (requires root privileges)

Usage

# amdgpu-profile-swicther [options ..]

# Add the config entry
amdgpu-profile-switcher add --pci 0000:08:00.0 --name glxgears --profile "BOOTUP_DEFAULT"
# or
amdgpu-profile-switcher add -i 0 --name glxgears --profile "BOOTUP_DEFAULT"

COMMANDS:
    add
        Add the config entry to the config file.
        `--pci <String>` or `-i/--index <usize>` and --name <String>` must be specified.
        (`--perf_level, --profile` are optional)
FLAGS:
    --procs
        Dump all current process names.
    --check-config
        Check the config file.
    --generate-config
        Output the config file to stdout.
    --profiles
        Dump all supported power profiles.
    --help
        Print help information.

If you want to specify a config file, set the path to the file in APS_CONFIG_PATH.
The default config file paths are /etc/amdgpu-profile-switcher.ron or /etc/xdg/amdgpu-profile-switcher.ron or under XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.

Tips

• If you want to apply a single setting to Steam games launched via Wine/Proton, I recommend adding an entry for "steam.exe".
