@LazerDickMcCheese @MentalEdge have you tools to monitor temperatures ? From what you’ve just said almost sounds like thermal throttling…

As short tests would give it a chance to cool off, while a heavy consistent load would slowly creep them temps up. Hwmon is what I used back in my windows days.

A friend had an nvidia card where the fan had stopped. He could play games fine for a short while (an hour or so) but after that it started to lag really.

@sammeeeeeee @entropicdrift not sure if Intel igpus are the same, but my ryzen 5700g igpu won’t transcoded unless when it boots it has a monitor plugged in and powered on…

@ada thanks, still very green with Lemmy and mastodon
