Linux: Boosting CPU Performance for better game play.

[Roesten.1683]

I am just put this out there, YMMV and always watch your CPU temperature.

GW2 is CPU intensive and what I found out was that my CPUs were not running in "Performance" mode.

I went from 24fps to 52fps in large  WVW zerg fights with this tweak.  Other wise the game pretty much runs 63 FPS (limited to 60 fps due to my monitor  ).  

You can run this script in console to check your CPUs settings  "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

(cut and paste what is between first and last quotes---keeping it basic)

It should come back with "Performance" for each core. 

If the cores are not running in "Performance" mode:

This script in console should switch the CPUs into performance mode: "echo "performance" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

(again cut and paste what is between first and last quotes---keeping it basic)

In graphics options: It is set to "Best Appearance " ( high) except :  Shadows, Reflections and Post Processing are set to none. 

I am Running GW2 on SUSE tumbleweed through steam.  

In steam properties : General : "gamemoderun %command%  -provider Portal"

Compatibility : Force and  GE-Proton8-13

Hardware: AMD 3700x with an nvidia 2060, not the best rig but GW2 performance is good. 

Hope this is useful to some.
