that will churn the gpu faster and produce more heat than a lower res.

changing res is thru, i believe, services. not under fedora at this time
to check to see what it actual is.

if the driver does not have ability to monitor, no need to change res to
see. unless you might happen to have gpu temp under 'sensors'.

all of which brings a question. how do you know it is running cooler now?

if you had done such while still using the radeon driver, it would have
been interesting to know before and after. plus, knowing temp between
recent and last time of cleaning could give you an idea of how often you
need to do such.

as above, if catalyst drivers do not let you monitor, how do you know
it is better? :-)
