I think it has never worked (I remember as back as 6.7 it behaved like this but only recently I discovered it). If you enable CSM and disable Wi-Fi using BIOS, gaming performance is massively reduced on AM5 boards... This only happens on Linux. I don't know who are the developers involved that is why I emailed stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Thank you.

(I've only tested DX12 games) and does not happen if UEFI mode is chosen. I've tested with many different BIOS versions all showing the same result. > I have tried troubleshooting with MSI with some benchmarks posted (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/b650-tomahawk-bios-bug-disabling-wi-fi-massively-reduces-system-performance.396910/) and after a week we realized this only happens on Linux (tested on Arch/Fedora/Ubuntu with 6.8 and 6.9 kernels for the first two). Is this a regression? If so, what kernel version worked? What did not work? Can you use 'git bisect' to find the problem? And if it a regression, please report it to the regression list AND the developers for the subsystem involved. If it isn't a regression, perhaps it never has worked? thanks, greg k-h
