UPP: Uplift Power Play
A tool for parsing, dumping and modifying data in Radeon PowerPlay tables
Introduction
UPP is able to parse and modify binary data structures of PowerPlay tables
commonly found on certain AMD Radeon GPUs. Drivers on recent AMD GPUs
allow PowerPlay tables to be dynamically modified on runtime, which may be
known as "soft" PowerPlay table. On Linux, the PowerPlay table is by default
found at: /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_table
.
Alternatively, one can use this tool to get PowerPlay data by:
- Extracting PowerPlay table from Video ROM image (see extract command)
- Importing "Soft PowerPlay" table from Windows registry, directly from offline Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM file on disk, so it would work from Linux distro that has acces to mounted Windows partition (path to SYSTEM registry file is specified with --from-registry option)
This tool currently supports parsing and modifying PowerPlay tables found on the following AMD GPU families:
- Polaris
- Vega
- Radeon VII
- Navi 10
- Navi 14
- Navi 21 (Sienna Cichlid)
Note: iGPUs found in many recent AMD APUs are using completely different PowerPlay control methods, this tool does not support them.

Requirements
Python 3.6+, click library. Optionally, for reading "soft" PowerPlay table from Windows registry: python-registry. Should work on Windows as well (testers wanted).
Usage
At its current form this is a CLI only tool. Getting help:
upp --help
or
upp <command> --help
Upp will only work by specifying a command which tells it what to do to one's Radeon PowerPlay table data. Currently available commands are:
- dump - Dumps all PowerPlay data to console
- extract - Extracts PowerPlay data from full VBIOS ROM image
- get - Retrieves current value of one or multiple PowerPlay parametter(s)
- set - Sets value to one or multiple PowerPlay parameters
- version - Shows UPP version
So, an usage pattern would be like this:
upp [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Some generic options applicable to all commands may be used, but please note that they have to be specified before an actual command:
-p, --pp-file <filename> Input/output PP table file.
-f, --from-registry <filename> Import PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable from Windows
-d, --debug / --no-debug Debug mode.
-h, --help Show help.
Dumping all data:
The dump command de-serializes PowerPlay binary data into a human-readable text output. For example:
upp dump
In standard mode all data will be dumped to console, where data tree hierarchy is indicated by indentation. In raw mode a table showing all hex and binary data, as well as variable names and values, will be dumped.
Extracting PowerPlay table from Video ROM image:
Use extract command for this. The source video ROM binary must be specified
with -r/--video-rom
parameter, and extracted PowerPlay table will be saved
into file specified with generic -p/--pp-file
option. For example:
upp --pp-file=extracted.pp_table extract -r VIDEO.rom
Default output file name will be an original ROM file name with an additional .pp_table extension.
Getting PowerPlay table parameter value(s):
The get command retrieves current value of one or multiple PowerPlay table
parameter value(s). The parameter variable path must be specified in /<param>
notation, for example:
upp get smc_pptable/FreqTableGfx/1 smc_pptable/FreqTableGfx/2
1850
1400
The order of the output values will match the order of the parameter variable paths specified.
Setting PowerPlay table parameter value(s):
The set command sets value to one or multiple PowerPlay table
parameter(s). The parameter path and value must be specified in
/<param>=<value>
notation, for example:
upp -p /tmp/custom-pp_table set --write \
smc_pptable/SocketPowerLimitAc/0=100 \
smc_pptable/SocketPowerLimitDc/0=100 \
smc_pptable/FanStartTemp=100 \
smc_pptable/FreqTableGfx/1=1550
Note the --write
parameter, which has to be specified to actually commit
changes to the PowerPlay table file.
Getting upp version
upp version
Running as sudo
Note that if you need to run upp deployed with pip in --user
mode with
sudo, you'll need to add some parameters to sudo command to make user env
available to super-user. For example:
sudo -E env "PATH=$PATH" upp --help
