Ryzen APU not getting 60 fps in desktop

[Undertaker666]

Hello all, I have an hp laptop with a 6880u, and only built in graphics.
I clean installed mint next to a windows 11 install on the same drive, and I have some weird behavior.
Sometimes, like when I come back from hibernation or the lock screen, my framerate drops and I get something like 24 fps, and I can see my cursor lagging and chugging.

I tried raising the limits with ryzenadj, I tried changing the governor to performance, I tried everything I could think off, nothing gets me smooth desktop experience. I am not talking gaming, this is a work laptop, but it is a beast, I did not expect to run into these issues.

This is also evident during video calls, the other side sees my video as choppy and not smooth.

I searched online, asked multiple llms and found nothing.
here's my information:

I am mostly bumping this for you, but will make a few incidental comments that probably won't fix your problem.
I too am surprised you are having a problem.

Partition:
ID-1: / size: 130.48 GiB used: 99.11 GiB (76.0%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/nvme0n1p5
ID-2: /boot/efi size: 256 MiB used: 94.4 MiB (36.9%) fs: vfat dev: /dev/nvme0n1p1
Swap:
ID-1: swap-1 type: partition size: 65.58 GiB used: 216 KiB (0.0%) priority: -2
dev: /dev/nvme0n1p4

If it were me I would try to get 40+GB of that swap file to the OS partition (nvme0n1p5). 76% full is a bit much, but probably not your problem.

Sensors:
System Temperatures: cpu: 65.0 C mobo: 25.0 C gpu: amdgpu temp: 64.0 C
Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A

I am surprised that new of a computer is running at 65C.

grub-customizer

Well, OK. Use with care.

If you added any applets you might want to experiment with removing those.

Having just spent quite a bit of time reading a long bug report about problems with AMD on Lenovos, it may be an issue that HP optimized the BIOS/UEFI for Windows. Do you have the most recent one installed?

I tried raising the limits with ryzenadj, I tried changing the governor to performance, I tried everything I could think off, nothing gets me smooth desktop experience. I am not talking gaming, this is a work laptop, but it is a beast, I did not expect to run into these issues.

Why would you be making all those adjustments on a work PC (in addition to adding the kisak-ppa). Usually, only people interested in gaming are making all those tweaks.

If it were me I would try to get 40+GB of that swap file to the OS partition (nvme0n1p5). 76% full is a bit much, but probably not your problem.

I have 64GB of RAM, and when the swap was smaller, it would not load properly from hibernation. I am planning some changes to the Windows size to make a shared space so the Windows partition would be smaller.

I am surprised that new of a computer is running at 65C.

That's under a bit of load. It reaches 80+ under full load.

grub-customizer

I never mentioned that, nor have I used that.

Do you have the most recent one installed?

Yes, last time I checked.

Why would you be making all those adjustments on a work PC

Because as I mentioned, I can't get smooth video in meetings, so I thought it was some limit.

The only reason I mentioned grub-customizer was because of this in Repos:

If you don't use it then it's definitely not a problem.

I'm sorry to hear about your problem. You are not the only one reporting framerate drops.

[SMG]

I am surprised that new of a computer is running at 65C.

OP is running three large screens. More screens always drives up the temperature.

I am planning some changes to the Windows size to make a shared space so the Windows partition would be smaller.

While you are in Windows, check the BIOS/UEFI version. HP makes a lot of models, but when I made a quick check I saw version 1.08 released this year with a number of fixes for it. (They don't support Linux-based distros with this model laptop, but sometimes fixes affect more than one operating system.)

grub-customizer

I never mentioned that, nor have I used that.

You installed the PPA for it. It and the changes it makes are not always the easiest thing to remove which is why we keep an eye out when we see it.

Why would you be making all those adjustments on a work PC

Because as I mentioned, I can't get smooth video in meetings, so I thought it was some limit.

Did you take a Timeshift snapshot before making those changes so you can easily revert them?

You can try seeing if updating the amdgpu linux-firmware will help although it may be hard to tell with all the other tweaks you have already done. Instructions for upgrading the amdgpu linux-firmware are here. If you have questions about them, let us know.

[Undertaker666]

You installed the PPA for it

Yeah, but never installed it once I read online about the issues with it.

Did you take a Timeshift snapshot before making those changes so you can easily revert them?

Sadly no.

amdgpu linux-firmware

trying that now, but won't that get updated when I run normal OS updates?

[SMG]

amdgpu linux-firmware

trying that now, but won't that get updated when I run normal OS updates?

Not necessarily. Canonical has not been back-porting all the updates for linux-firmware which have been released. A number of people have needed to manually run this update to get fixes for issues.

[Undertaker666]

Tried the amdgpu firmware, it's better after raising the limits amp wise, but still not fluid.

[seasons]

Does it take a while for your computer to boot? If it was me, I just wouldn't use suspend/hibernate. There are so many issues with that on Linux. It used to make sense in the days of mechanical hard disks and 30+ second boot times, but the systems I've been using for the last 5-10 years boot Linux so fast, it's not worth using suspend/hibernate if there are issues with it.

[Undertaker666]

The time is not the issue,.it the session I have to re open everything on fresh boot. And sometimes even on a clean boot it is a bit slow.

[SMG]

Tried the amdgpu firmware, it's better after raising the limits amp wise, but still not fluid.

Does it make a difference as to what and how many external monitors are attached?
Are they attached to a docking station or directly to the laptop?
Here are all the open and closed bug reports on 6800U.

Did you update the BIOS/UEFI?

[Undertaker666]

The more monitors, the more I feel it, even though I felt it less with one 4K monitor vs. 2 1080p monitors.
I am on the latest bios version. the 2 monitors are from the usb4, and the one 4k is from the hdmi.

[SMG]

The more monitors, the more I feel it, even though I felt it less with one 4K monitor vs. 2 1080p monitors.

Perhaps that relates to the number of ports in use by the GPU.

You might want to try searching the bugs reports for the specific monitor (or type of monitor).

I recall seeing issues that relates to specific hardware functionality of the monitor, but I research so many issues/bug reports that I don't recall the specifics. I think for one the clock-rate after suspend went to a specific value (but only for certain types of monitors). Some of the issues get really nuanced as to what the triggers are.

[Undertaker666]

That was the first thing I checked, clocks on the Graphics side, they always report as maxed, not matter the situation.
Usage graph also shows it fluctuating so it is not stuck on something.
