Yes @Nate_Hanna , it was happening on the 3.05 as well, but it was not as often as on 3.06. I reported it many times throughout these threads about throttling issues so I found it pretty surprising they made it even worse on 3.06. Lets just hope they can get it right for 4.0 but I fear we may be waiting until next year.
I went ahead and flashed that alpha 3.07 and it’s not looking good so far. Launching a game will cause it to throttle at a locked 1400MHz for several minutes, showing EDC_CPU throttling. It does go away after a few minutes but it causes games to sit there loading for that entire time, even longer if they are recompiling shaders (Linux).
And after closing down a game, the Throttling seems to be permanently set to:
until I sleep the laptop and wake it up again.
180W official adapter was connected through all these tests.
EDIT: to add more info. While a game is running (In this case, Starfield), the following throttling is in effect:
At the same time, the CPU temp is only at 70c and dGPU is at 67c. To me, those don’t seem like valid throttling temps.
Further testing, 3.07 is very unstable. If I trigger shader compiling through steam, which taxes all CPUs, it will throttle down to between 1000-1400MHz every time, causing sluggishness while the CPU temp stays around 55c so there should be no reason to throttle it. Seems to be when dGPU turns on and off as well. This is extremely annoying and unacceptable. Back to 3.05 for now I guess.
