CoreCtrl
CoreCtrl lets you set your AMD GPU and/or CPU to high performance when you play games.
Please note: this application does not work for Nvidia hardware.

On Arch-based distributions you can install it from the AUR, for example with paru:
paru -S corectrl
Otherwise, look here for installation instructions.
