GPU Drivers

Nvidia install privative drivers.

Source: Wiki

Privative:

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

Return to free drivers:

sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300'

GPU Settings

Set OpenGL and PowerMizer settings in performance mode.

CPU Governor

Install gamemode and configure in game launch options.

Let's use Feral gamemode for this.
Source: Github

Install gamemode

yes | sudo pacman -S gamemode

Set performance mode manually.

The default cpu governor is set to powersave mode.
To change that enter the following command into Teminal:
echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu/cpufreq/scaling_governor*

You can also create a script to run this command by following these steps:

Change dir to the dir you want to save it in (In Terminal)
cd /....
(for example cd Documents. Default is HOME)
Create the file nano performanceMode.sh Paste this script

#!/bin/bash echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor Save Ctrl + X Y Enter Set as executable chmod +x performanceMode.sh

If the last step doesnt work try running it with sudo.

To check it is set, etner: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor into Terminal.

Mouse Acceleration

Disable mouse acceleration.
Source: Wiki

• Create file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
• Add follow content:

Section "InputClass" Identifier "My Mouse" Driver "libinput" MatchIsPointer "yes" Option "AccelProfile" "flat" Option "AccelSpeed" "0" EndSection

• You should restart X.

Digital Vibrance/Saturation

You can use the script digitalVibrance.sh located un global-offensive folder. Just specify the value that you want.

./digitalVibrance 800

Blackbars

The only one way that i find for this, is editing csgo.sh file. Generally located in: ${HOME}/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Global\ Offensive/csgo.sh

Add to the beginning of the file, after to first line.

#!/bin/bash

#Start black-bars xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 800x600 xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set "scaling mode" "Center"

Add to the end of file, before exit.

done

#Finish black-bars xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set "scaling mode" "Full" exit $STATUS

• A lot of times, after exit csgo, the blackbars keep appearing. For fix this, execute te blackbars-off.sh each time that exit csgo.

Save to Startup

Some settings such as nvidia refresh rate/PowerMizer settings might revert to default after reboot. To prevent that, we'll add them into our Startup Applications.

Open Startup Applications (might be inside gnome-tweak-tool or standalone) PowerMizer Add new entry with the following command: nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GpuPowerMizerMode=1 Refresh rate and Resolution Add new entry with the following command: xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 120.00
