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.

Both of those games are CPU bound. Think about the amount of calculations for the thousands of entities (and tens/hundreds of players) Ark has to handle at any given frame. For CS2 it’s more about calculating as many frames as possible as responsively as possible while the GPU can effectively just focus on minimal eye candy.
