It's not quite the same out of the box experience (after making sure you have the latest chipset drivers, use the balanced power plan and NOT the performance plan, and have Xbox Game Bar..), but it's possible to force certain processes and executables to run on specific CPU cores in Linux using taskset and verify that they're running on the correct cores. It will be a little tedious if you play a lot of games on Steam as you'll inevitably run into games that use proton and others that use native binaries, but there's nothing that should prevent you from being able to manually schedule games/programs that need the extra cache onto the cores that have the extra cache.
- mosquitobiten 4y agoWhat about a VM with GPU pass-trough? Let's say I have plenty of storage and just create different VMs with selected distro or winXI that have certain games. Could that also be an option? Just drag and drop the appropriate game in the VM storage?
- petronio 4y agoYes, for GPU passthrough you usually assign specific cores to the VM and isolate them (to reduce hiccups caused by other tasks using the core), so in this case you'd just assign the cores with the extra cache.
- Prunkton 4y agogood point, so a low budget solution that whitelist games for specific cores shouldn't be to hard to assemble
