I love playing Rocket League. I got about 400 hours on it already, but I think I'am missing something.
At the beginning of a match, when the timer is 0 there is a big frame drop as well as someone is getting destroyed. It's like a whole second.
Which setup do you guys run this game to get a perfect performance?
I don't think it's my hardware that causes so much frame drops. I'm using R7 1700 + RX 470 with fully updated Archlinux (Linux 4.13.x and Mesa 17.2.x not sure about the correct numbers, but it's up to date for sure).

(On the other hand I am always uploading and downloading stuff so I thought that may have caused these issues)

A friend who dual boots windows and linux confirmed that the linux version has these kind of hard fps drop where the windows version runs buttery smooth. In a competitive sense, you will always be screwed.
My remedy for the demolition fps drop is moving the Rocket League directory from Mechanical HDD to SSD.
Though there's still fps drops when so much is happening like reaching supersonic in the air.
Executing this with root might help:
# echo high > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
the /card0/ part might be different.
I never had issue with gtx 1070, everything is understandably smooth.
