Cannot overclock AMD GPU on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS












0














I am trying to overclock the memory on my GPU with AMDGPU Pro 18.40 driver.



Nonetheless, /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_od_clk_voltage is an empty file and I cannot write to it.



When I try



echo "m 2 1600 950" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_od_clk_voltage


as root it produces the following error:



-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument


I have amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.



I have also tried running:



echo manual | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level


My question is based on the answer to the following question: Can't overclock GPU using amdgpu driver on archlinux
The author claims that this method works, however it obviously does not.

          I had to install this:
          https://github.com/BoukeHaarsma23/WattmanGTK



          and then I ran it, and it told me the value I needed to pass to amdgpu.ppfeaturemask.
          In my case on a Vega 64 the value is 0xfffd7fff



          And yea you add that to grub :)
