libreboot-gaming_1

Top 3 Libreboot system configurations (9020 SFF, KGPE-D16, KCMA-D8) and a highend computer 2021 in gaming benchmarks. With the same strong graphics card AMD 7900 XTX, to demonstrate the system bottleneck and show a best case scenario. Mainly tested with newest proprietary drivers, but also did a run with Ubuntu defaults (which with non-free not sure what they are). KGPE-D16 gets worse performance due to double NUMA cores per CPU package, which could be fixed by scheduling the right cores e.g. use a VM and assign (there should be guides available somewhere).
