The default powersaving mode is too aggressive for low GPU load games like Counter Strike etc. This makes the cores clock down way too fast. That behavior hasn’t been changed even though it’s been a known issue for 2 years . If you experience microstuttering with an RDNA2 (presumably RDNA3 too) card, try this udev rule:

I have set it to “5” (compute) which is the best setting in my experience. “1” (3D fullscreen) should work too. Sudo didn’t work for me, I needed to be logged in as root for this for some reason.

Thanks for the hints about this https://www.reddit.com/user/Lawstorant/ :) Just wanted to give this fix more attention because it really really makes a difference
