Honestly, if you use Proton-GE's FSR feature for games that don't offer built-in FSR/DLSS + GameMode, you can def beat Windows performance in some Windows-only games. I know it's kinda cheating, but it does net you higher FPS on the same graphics settings.

That's not really even cheating, there's windows utilities that attempt to do the same thing.

Gamemode puts the game at an extremely low niceness value, among other things, which will make the system allocate more resources toward it.
