In case you consider using the AMD pstate
frequency scaling driver...
Make sure to use amd_pstate=active
. I tried amd_pstate=passive
originally but, even with performance governor it would severely throttle at high-fps gaming. I often got 20-30 FPS lower than what the active or even the default acpi
driver gave me during spiderman remastered.
There is also amd_pstate=guided
but I haven't tried that. CPU is 5800x3D and I usually play at 80-140FPS in that game so I'm thinking the load was not managed well by the passive one.

I would find that very cool, but I'm not sure if I'd have the courage to say no to owning a nice house and having an earlier retirement just to flip off wotc and receive a ton of hatemail :/.
