Are you, by any chance, running a multihead config?
No I don't and I am aware that dynpm doesn't work on multi-head configurations.
I had lots of problems with dynpm in the past, but now it just works (except of the flickering of course). When idling the temperature goes down by 10?C (60?C instead of 70?C+), while when running a game the gpu frequency goes up again (checked ssh-ing while still running the game). Also, doing a nexuiz or openarena timedemo with dynpm gives the same fps of "high" profile, while using the "low" profile I get a lower score.
Where can I buy it? Is there anyone else in Europe interest to buy it?
What's the vendor of your card?
Maybe the level of support is due to the BIOS provided by the vendors.
I finally checked it: it's a Shappire.
Thanks for reporting, dynpm is hard flawed according to Michael tests as well.
Perhaps open a bug on freedesktop?
Why not use a generic energy measurement device for eurosocket? Costs around 9?, fairly efficient.
Yes, I will. Unfortunately I have a long week ahead, hopefully I will be able to report it next week end.
9?? I didn't see any so cheap, anyway I can even keep using the ups, the watts up pro was more interesting because you can connect it to the pc and it has linux drivers.
