It from 2011 when I needed something that played games at fairly decent frame-rates and could be used to video editing and essay writing at school.
What >>51062019 said.

>>51062019
It would switch between performance modes (ASUS set ones) in Windows 7 but was originally intended to enable/disable Nvidia 3D vision in compatible models. Of course compatibility broke when the stopped updating the software needed after 6-ish months.

It would also boot it into something called Express Gate when powered off. Simple Linux based OS running at 800x600 and only capable of running simple games like tetris, checking email and play DVDs. Used very little power though.

Maybe he grew up, or maybe he doesn't play real video games (apparently call of duty(?)) and is fine with stuff like source games, metro, cities skylines, dying light, bioshock infinite, ETS2, Civilization, Tropico, The Witcher 2, Shadow Warrior, War Thunder, KSP, Wasteland, Pillars of Eternity, Insurgency, Mount & Blade, Company of Heroes, XCOM, Borderlands, Verdun, Crusader Kings, Chivalry or Baldur's Gate.

Sometimes these vendor specific implementations can be found in "/sys/devices/platform/"

for example on my sony vaio pro
"/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop"

in there holds performance profile that i wrote a simple bash script to bind these to F keys. In your case do what >>51062067 mentions.

If there is no sys device, you can use "pstate-frequency" (in the AUR) to modify cpu frequency, not sure how to modify gpu frequencys

>useful or do anything in Arch?
Nobody knows how to get anything useful out of Arch. Or Linux in general.
But there's so few trying.

Well Windows ran at a constant 20%+ CPU usage when doing everyday tasks, my Arch setup runs at a very comfortable ~5% with ~17% tops during heavy loads (My current usage).

Laptop m8, I could run it at a 100% load but the hardware wasn't designed for that and the fans become incredibly loud.

It's a "gaming laptop", G74SX.
It can run at a constant 100% for hours at a time but it was never meant to be doing it all day every day. And again, the fans are loud, really loud.
Perhaps I can OC or something once I get a real desktop and ghetto watercool this thing.
