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.

With Nvidia making progress on NVK, but still having proprietary DLSS, while AMD has great Linux drivers but they ignore them while pushing FSR-only on game devs...

I'm just so conflicted about what kind of GPU I'd like to have and which company I would like to support a few years down the line.

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 :/.
