I've heard something about performance mode for cpu/gpu.

I've seen a post before switching to linux where someone mentioned a cpu and gpu performance mode that should be turned on if gaming on linux. Does anyone know what he was talking about?

If you're on linux already, try it youself.

Re: I've heard something about performance mode for cpu/gpu.

GNOME has a toggle in the bar for that.

I just use tmpfiles.d(5):

$ cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/cpu_scaling_governor.conf
w /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor - - - - performance
w /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor - - - - performance
w /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_governor - - - - performance
w /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_governor - - - - performance
