While some of us had it turned on for some time, some didn’t. Looks like it is fully stable now.

Yey! Test it by starting intel_gpu_top and than playing video in firefox, if row “Video” goes over 0.0% it is working!

Of course, you need second monitor, it goes down to 0 if video is not visible, since Firefox is not rendering it.

    You don’t need a second monitor, if you open your terminal with intel_gpu_top running and firefox side by side.
