[solved] Bumblebee and Steam - Cs go issues

Hello Arch Community,

I decided to switch from manjaro to arch since I got a new laptop and so far the migration has gone well. For the first two weeks I used Windows 10 though and played Cs GO while my framerate was about 100 fps with low/moderate settings. With Arch and Bumblebee it dropped down to 50 fps. I expected a little performance drop but that seems a little harsh.

Optirun and Primusrun seem to work since glxgears report around 800 fps. Strangely running glxgears withouth Optirun or Primusrun gives around 9000 fps. I used primusrun %command% as launch options in steam as well as starting steam with Primusrun itself.

So far I have tried, nearly every troubleshooting entry on the wiki regarding Bumblebee and Steam and searched the web for similar cases. No luck though.

The Laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14 with a 940M and a HD 5500 as graphics.

Any help is greatly appreciated

EDIT1: I use gnome as the desktop environment

EDIT2: I decided to install Windows 10 as a second OS, for playing games etc.
