    Well that explains a lot about AMD's testing procedures

    DarkFoss I don't have any stuttering issues and I pretty much stick to schedutil. Granted that I also run my games with nice --10 and, anecdotally, I seem to have better response and less lag out of programs ran with nice --5 to --10 since -10 is what my user limits are set at.

      P-State was merged many years ago now, prior to Schedutil being in the kernel.

        Yeah, but Performance doesn't scale the CPU at all, it just stays at full clock. That's not a valid comparison at all.

          yes, you have the reason in that side.. but I don't know if schedutil can improve so much because seeing the benchs you had posted with different governors...
          I don't know if linux kernel mantainers are "too" optimistic"

            I hope Linux kernel maintainers are extremely pessimistic, performance and security paranoid.

            On the other hand, I consider Linux kernel scheduler needs to hugely improve in an urgent manner these days.

              No chance of that for something so miniscule as scheduling and freq scaling. Improve what exists, or die.

                Thanks for this - switching to the performance governor fixed stuttering with a 2070 Super - see more details here.

                previously schedutil was fine with a Rx 570 8gb passthrough (& seemed to actually run better than the performance governor on Ryzen 3700x)

                I think this is related to message signal interrupts on Nvidia GPUs

                2021 update - using schedutil (Arch Linux default) instead of the performance governor gives me 10 FPS more in the hitman 2 benchmark
