Switching performance profiles based on Plasma's activities

CustomPerfActivities.md

Requirements:

• KActivities
• cpufrequtils

1. Place the files in $HOME/bin

2. Customize the values based on your hardware

3. Set script to run on profile load in Plasma's activities manager

default_mode.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Lowering performance to save on power
# CPU = Core i5-6500
# GPU = GTX 1060 6GB
# Change values in regards to your hardware


cur_gov=`cpufreq-info -c 0 | grep -i "The governor" | cut -d "\"" -f 2`

if [ $cur_gov != "performance" ]; then
  pkexec cpufreq-set -g powersave -d 900MHz -u 3.4GHz
fi

# Setting to Auto mode
nvidia-settings -a GPUPowerMizerMode=2

gaming_mode.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Maximizing performance
# CPU = Core i5-6500
# GPU = GTX 1060 6GB
# Change values in regards to your hardware

cur_gov=`cpufreq-info -c 0 | grep -i "The governor" | cut -d "\"" -f 2`

if [ $cur_gov != "performance" ]; then
  pkexec cpufreq-set -g performance -d 3.5GHz -u 3.6GHz
fi

# Maximum Performance mode
nvidia-settings -a GPUPowerMizerMode=1

kactivities_cust.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Set script to run on profile load in Plasma's activities manager

act_id=`kactivities-cli --current-activity | awk '{print $2}'`

# Default mode
if [ $act_id == "8491e724-c481-49e2-9150-3a6b792729ed" ]; then
	echo "Default mode = $act_id"
	$USER/bin/default_mode.sh
# Gaming Mode
