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.

      I use mangohud to monitor gpu, cpu, ram, vram and temps. The strangest thing is, i downloaded cracked version of ark ascended before bying it, and i added it to steam using opcion “add non steam game” than it worked wery good, using my gpu up to 99%. And after that when i bought game legaly on steam i have this wierd 80% usage and worse fps… 😳

          It’s just the default System Monitor Sensor that comes with KDE, makes nice little circles in my taskbar. Couldn’t tell ya about the backend, haven’t felt a need to dig that far into it lol
