November 21, 2025Nov 21 My Unraid 7.2.0 server uses AMD E9173 which is like Radeon WX2100 with lower power limit, itself is a cutdown Polaris RX 550. It's for Jellyfin transcoding and light game streaming through Steam Headless docker. Gaming performance is underwhelming with only 17W power limit. Is there a way to increase this power limit in Unraid? Google says LACT or CoreCtrl can adjust this limit but i have no idea how to get it running under Unraid.To be clear, the GPU is not under any VM. Also, this is not my primary gaming rig so maximum performance is not my concern. I just want to smooth out some indie games when i stream to Steam Deck (to save battery).
December 7, 2025Dec 7 Hey, I have the same GPU collecting dust. I wonder if you managed to apply it for some useful task and adjust the power limit. In my case transcoding is done by Intel 265k.
December 7, 2025Dec 7 Author No luck yet on adjusting power limit directly on Unraid.Since you have a good igpu for transcoding, maybe passthrough the dusty gpu to a linux VM. I think it's easier to install LACT/CoreCtrl on a VM and adjust power limit there. I haven't tried it though, since my GPU is locked for transcoding and i don't want to setup Jellyfin server through VM.
