I have Arch linux with kde plasma. Now the problem is, i play Ark survival ascended, and its wery demanding game. But for some reason only 80% of my gpu is used. In cs go 2 its also using 80% of my gpu in game but thats fine because it gives me 300+ fps so i dont complain about not using my gpu to the max. But in menus and settings of cs go it ramps up to 99% usage, while in ark it stays to 80% even in menus before game starts.

I’ve got the same CPU and I can get a pretty decent boost from pinning games to the first CCD (
taskset -c 0-7,16-23 %command%in Steam launch options) to increase clocks (first CCD is higher binned) and ensure cache locality (L3 caches are separated and cross access is higher latency). Otherwise the usual applies, it’s not the greatest CPU for gaming and you certainly won’t be pushing hundreds of FPS with it in modern games.
