[AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only] yeah, there timings look the same, but could you try panels of exactly the same model?

I see the same modeline setting for both of them, does that mean "same timing" ? $ xrandr --verbose | grep '*current' -A 2 3840x2160 (0x4a) 533.250MHz +HSync -VSync *current +preferred h: width 3840 start 3888 end 3920 total 4000 skew 0 clock 133.31KHz v: height 2160 start 2214 end 2219 total 2222 clock 60.00Hz -- 3840x2160 (0x4a) 533.250MHz +HSync -VSync *current +preferred h: width 3840 start 3888 end 3920 total 4000 skew 0 clock 133.31KHz v: height 2160 start 2214 end 2219 total 2222 clock 60.00Hz > > [AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only] > > The two high resolution panels have different timings so it's needed to be > fixed to high memory clock level. > @Li, Humphrey to further comment. > Thanks. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jaroslav Pulchart <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, July 2, 2024 12:20 PM > To: Feng, Kenneth <[email protected]> > Cc: Alex Deucher <[email protected]>; [email protected] > Subject: Re: High Power Consumption of AMD RX6800xt in Idle with Secondary > Monitor Connected > > Caution: This message originated from an External Source.
