I have Arch linux with kde plasma. Now the problem is, i play Ark survival ascended, and its wery demanding game. But for some reason only 80% of my gpu is used. In cs go 2 its also using 80% of my gpu in game but thats fine because it gives me 300+ fps so i dont complain about not using my gpu to the max. But in menus and settings of cs go it ramps up to 99% usage, while in ark it stays to 80% even in menus before game starts.

Yea thats fine i can limit fps in the menus, or i can just leave it since i dont spend much time in menus just a minute or two before game starts. The problem is i dont have performance that i expect in demanding game that needs that power.

Strange thing i played cracked version of ark ascended just two days before i bought it and it used my gpu normaly up to 99%. Now after i bought it legaly it have this vierd 80% gpu usage and lover fps ofc. Wery strange 😳😕
