# amdgpu-overclock

## Increase performances of your AMD GPU on linux system:

- Download & install [amdgpu-clocks](https://github.com/sibradzic/amdgpu-clocks) (go for the "manual installation");
- Set `amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff` as boot kernel parameter ;
- Check initial status of your gpu (`card0` generally) with `cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_od_clk_voltage`

*Example output*
```
OD_SCLK:
0: 500Mhz
1: 2580Mhz
OD_MCLK:
0: 97Mhz
1: 1000MHz
OD_VDDGFX_OFFSET:
0mV
OD_RANGE:
SCLK:     500Mhz       3000Mhz
MCLK:     674Mhz       1075Mhz
```
- Retrieve also all power-profile-modes available `cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_power_profile_mode`

*Example output*
