insane performance increase in Linux over Windows? (lemmy.ml)

so i just installed lethal company (with mods) and chained together. and in both games i got a boost from 40FPS to over 100FPS! so i am curios what the reason may be?

both games seem to be not too optimised, also in chained together i get 20FPS in DX12 mode but ~110 in DX11 so whats up with that?

also lethal company finally uses more than 40% of my gpu and cpu now, for some reason? i assume this plays part in the performance jump.

Laptop: Lenovo Legion 5-15ACH6A
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
GPU: AMD Radeon 6600m
Proton: GE-Proton9-10
Distro: Arch (btw)
Kernel: 6.12.4-zen1-1-zen

Looks like an issue with your windows install. I would check in the settings that you're not in power saving mode or something like that, it could reduce the power allocation for the GPU and CPU, and it may also disable the dedicated GPU when enabled. It's true there are some games that are faster in Linux, but it's usually within 5-10% of Windows, not over double the performance

that was my thougt too, however it is only those 2 games that get such an insane boost, others are within expected variation
