eGPU issues with external monitor

still on wayland. guess I could give x11 a try and see what happens

You’ve already tried X, I don’t see why the situation would be different. How did you run the games? With DRI_PRIME=1? Can you rule out other things like CPU, etc. that could result in the lowered performance?

Yeah I check htop while it was running and my cpu was barely running. I also tried with both DRI_PRIME=1 and not with the same result

Can you install intel-gpu-tools, then run sudo intel_gpu_top to check if the games are running on the intel GPU by any chance?

Wait I just thought of something. Isnt there something about thunderbolt being throttled or something in the bios settings?

I have no idea, so I cannot help you with that.

RIP. Well I’ve been trying and failing to capture the output of the Intel gpu test and it’s not really running that high from I can tell

Can you install radeontop from the AUR, and see if that could confirm that the games are indeed running on the AMD GPU?

Okay. Yep it’s running alright and everything is in the 50% except graphics pipe which makes me wonder if the issue that its bottlenecking
