I agree with this. I am having much better experience myself even without
commands to force the power performance level by doing:
- change game to windowed or full-screen borderless (fixed window)
- disable vsync
- disable frame limiter

by doing the above 3, it seems that GPU is forced into max power state all the
time while playing. I have been using this method for a few days with DXVK
games and I had no freeze so far.

But again this is just a temporary workaround. So is the command to manually
force high power performance level. Hopefully a permanent fix comes with
AMDGPU/Kernel updates.
