I'm having a really bizarre issue where seemingly at random I get much worse game performance than usual.
As you can see in this clip, I'm getting around 500~ fps in this specific scene.
And here, the issue is occurring. Notice I only have 110~ fps, and the gpu usage is much lower and cpu usage way higher. cpu and gpu clock speeds are identical however.
This affects other 3d games I have tried too, I'm showing gunfire reborn specifically because I can show a single consistent scene.
There doesn't seem to be a single consistent pattern that determines whether I will get good or bad performance, but it seems to "decide" on game startup, so if it runs well it will run well for the entire game session, and same for bad performance.
Obviously I have tried tweaking the cpu governor and the gpu power profile, even if i have the cpu set to performance and gpu set to 3d fullscreen, it doesn't seem to prevent the problem from occurring.
I tried switching to X11 for a bit to see if wayland was causing the issue, but it did not make a difference.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=271286
I have also looked into this post which seems to be describing the same issue, but apparently this person solved it by setting the gpu to 3d fullscreen, which did not help in my case.
I'm really at a loss for what could be going on here.
Edit: another thing I've noticed is that logging out of the desktop session and then logging back in can temporarily fix the issue, but not always.
