Degraded gaming performance after waking from sleep. (lemmy.world)

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.7-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090/PCIe/SSE2
GPU DRIVER: 565.77

Pretty straight forward issue.
Rocket League for example: Butter smooth game play before sleep. After sleep mild to moderate stuttering.

  • Looking at processes, I don't see anything hung or stuck using high resources...
  • I've tried restarting sddm and kwin_wayland --replace.
  • Scanned logs before and after sleep, didn't see anything stand out.

I feel like this started happening around the first release of the 6.12 kernel. Or maybe last couple NVIDIA driver releases. With that in mind, since it's the 6.12 kernel, I have set my scheduler to "scx_lavd --autopilot".

Anyone experiencing similar issues?

UPDATE

I no longer have this issue with the latest Plasma + Kernel 6.13 + NVIDIA 570.xxx

What's your CPU? 6.12 has a lot of efficiency changes for both Intel and AMD. My immediate thought is this is power profile related. As a workaround, after waking from sleep, switch your power profiles to something else, then back to performance. See if that helps.

Also check dmesg

Hi there. i9-14900K

On my setup, game launches automatically trigger the CPU Scheduler/Governor/Energy Profiles to Performance.

So went ahead and switched the CPU Scheduler, Governor and Energy profiles to defaults and powersave. Then put them all back to performance. Game is more than playable, its just not the same buttery smooth it was before the sleep.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Edit: dmesg

I have scanned my logs like I mentioned above, which includes dmesg and nothing stands out during wake or sleep.
