Hi. Today I was looking into why my games underperform so badly in Sabayon Linux compared to Windows 10. Since I bumped kernel to 4.16.2 I was expecting to see at least some improvements.
After checking everything was set and installed fine. (amdgpu module loaded, firmware loaded, etc etc) I went and look into the CPU scaling. I discovered that my Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU @3.20GHz was never touching it's max speed, not even close. So I looked at the cpupower settings and learned it was set to powersave. After changing this on-the-fly, using: cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand games ran WAY better, obviously. So I wondered where this setting came from. Apparently it is set in /etc/sysconfig/cpupower provided by sys-power/cpupower. I propose we set this to ondemand. (Not sure if we want to fork the ebuild for this) Thoughts?
