In virtually every instance of gaming I've tried, Nvidia is measurably slower on Linux than Windows

My experience has been the exact opposite. FPS gains in virtually all games I tested, including demandibg ones like Cyberpunk.

This was a few patches ago, but I tried to get modded 2077 faster, and could not, at least not on my setup. And I really tried because I need every drop of FPS on my aging 3090.

...That, and I had some HDR problems anyway.

For reference, I'm on W11, but neutered severely. No defender, no background tasks, services or anything, and a bunch of power plan tweaks. On the linux side I'm running CachyOS. Tested with GoG Cyberpunk, can't remember what patch, but it was on a shared NTFS partition, and CachyOS Proton on the linux side.
