for games, I'm not sure that there really is a need?
My son [1] plays Dota2 on our centos 6 box at home. Using the regular C6 
kernel (kernel-2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64), the CPU is an oldish intel 
core 2 duo E8400 from 2008, and everything runs smooth.

This is just one datapoint, I haven't tried other games in linux and 
maybe dota2 is an exception. But maybe make sure there's a real problem 
before fixing it?

[1] ok I play too but that's not the point ;-)
