Quoting: Eike*edit* If you do, don't forget to search for other possible optimizations in advance, like maybe this one: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/you-will-want-to-force-your-cpu-into-high-performance-mode-for-vulkan-games-on-linux.9369/comment_id=89164

I do not do benchmarks at all, but someone should inform these guys that do it about this. nVidia GPUs are switching performance levels all the time like expected. I thought that with CPUs everything was the same...

This is in fact some serious thing. Never thought that my CPU is not working at it's best. My i5 6600K is showing all the time that it's using „powersave“. I tried my own game I'm developing in UE4 and it's using 40% of all 4 cores all the time with „powersave“. When I switch to „performance“, it's using ~23% of all 4 cores. This CPU is really fast, and it's impossible to really force it to use all the cores to 100% in ordinary tasks except when I'm compiling things. I tested it, and it's never switching to „performance“ without command and I find this stupid. Does this mean that all the benchmarks of games were actually incorrect? I mean Windows vs Ubuntu (or Linux in general..)?
