So apparently, the reported power usage in amdgpu_pm_info must be wrong for idle. Power consumption of the whole system is a bit lower on Windows (30W). So probably GPU power saving doesn't work as good as on Windows, but this doesn't explain the unrealistic number reported in amdgpu_pm_info. I btw. also noticed that power saving of Vega works much better than of Polaris on Linux. With Polaris, the clocks get up real quickly for even the slightest amount of GPU load. Vega saves much more power and doesn't stutter, despite of the higher savings. I had a RX 560 before the RX 580, and I think its idle power consumption was correctly reported with something like 3W (not 30) or so. latest 4.21-wip kernel

I can confirm observing the same behavior as Julian reports. However I have also noticed power information reporting wrongly at the opposite extreme (Much higher idle power than reported) when two monitors are attached that force excessively high idle clock states. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108941#c1

I wonder why this is still an issue (linux 5.3.4, showing 30W with lowest clocks and voltages) if it already worked with Polaris 11 some years ago.
