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

i basically enabled all performance boosts (except the ai stuff like frame generation) and disabled all limiting settings (like chill)

Huh strange. Fwiw fluid motion frames is algorithmic, it's not an AI feature.

I'd still be intereted in how DXVK fares in the windows side. Given you're using a NV23 dGPU, I have a pretty solid theory as to what might be going on here, though I'm a little confused as to why windows behaves differently from Linux since power management firmware is a shared object.

Does this behave the same on battery and wall power?

no, on battery it enters energy saving so performance drops significantly. but every situation i talked about was on wall power, and it is to be assumed the default situation for gaming.

also to test your theory i would need to reinstall windows, which is to much of a bother when i shouldve been asleep like 2 hours ago to be rested for work

Oh right, I was under the impression you were multi booting. Please don't go back to windows to test on my account. I can check in with the lab next year.

Congrats on your move to Linux though!
