Hello, I'm experiencing a problem while running MacOS, sleep is not working at all but it solves the issue... 😅
While using safari/discord/videos after 10-15 minutes the computer began to slow down to the point that is unusable at all, it doesn't freeze or reboots but in order to make the computer run flawlessly again, I need to put it to sleep and before going to sleep, wake it up. The problem solves too when I change the screen refresh rate since it turns off and turns on or letting the computer to show the screensaver. The activity monitor is showing that the Kernel_Task cpu usage is around 80% when it happens but idk how to solve this/fix this at all.
I'm experiencing this since the first time I've installed Big Sur on my computer and I redid the EFI folder quite few times using dortania guide (there's no info about kernel_task errors) so I don't know if the problem comes from my EFI that is wrong or is just my computer but I wish to ask if someone knows how to fix this since is driving me mad.
It does the same on a fresh OS install...
My specs are:
Ryzen 7 3700x
MSI x470 Gaming Plus Max (It happens on 02/14/2022 bios, 05/31/2021 bios & 02/08/2021bios)
970 Evo Plus NVME M.2 (2B2QEXM7 firm as dortania guide suggest)
Ballistix 3600 CL16
XFX RX 6800 XT
I normally run my computer overclocked but it does the same without overclock too...
Maybe someone is able to check if there's any error on my EFI.
Thanks in advance.

After changing ResizeAppleGpuBars = 0(1mb) to 8 (256mb) the system doesn't lag anymore/kernel_task working as intended.
This quirk sets GPU PCI BAR sizes as specified or chooses the largest available below the ResizeGpuBars value. The specified value follows PCI Resizable BAR spec. Use 0 for 1 MB, 1 for 2 MB, 2 for 4 MB, and so on up to 19 for 512 GB.
This quirk shall not be used to workaround macOS limitation to address BARs over 1 GB. ResizeAppleGpuBars should be used instead.
