Really cool tool by the Linux game porting company Feral. You can tweak many options such as:

  • CPU governor
  • I/O priority
  • Process niceness
  • Kernel scheduler (SCHED_ISO)
  • Screensaver inhibiting
  • GPU performance mode (NVIDIA and AMD), GPU overclocking (NVIDIA)
  • Custom scripts for game launch and game end (e.g. stop the desktop compositor on game launch and resume it when the game quits, or disable a second monitor and re-enable it)
