Hi,
Like the title says, I suspect that my gpu is being bottle-necked when running win11 on qemu. I ran Uniengine Heaven 4.0 on max settings and got a average of 10fps with gpu and cpu (Radeon 6700xt and Ryzen 5600G) around 40% usage.
I’ve tried various xlm optimizations, as well as various cpu pinnings which I’ve heard gets one close to native performance but found but none of them seem to improve my situation much.
Any ideas on how to improve the performance?
Thanks for the help.
