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

Idk about amd laptops, but is there a possibility your computer was using integrated graphics in Windows, and Linux is using the dedicated GPU? How's your battery life changed?

i doubt that as i specifically selected dedicated graphics in the bios. no changes to my battery life in that regard.

The 40% resource usage is just confusing to me, or why it was limited. makes sense if OS uses all the GPU now, you get much more frames! Heh

trust me that confused me too in windows but i never found a solution 🤷
