Hello, I am having issues with playing games on my Fedora system. I have Nvidia GPU (3060) with proprietary drivers installed. The problem is that although my GPU is fully utilized, it only produces around 30-35 fps in linux native games and around 40-45 fps with Proton enabled.
I am running Fedora 44 (Gnome, Wayland), 32 GB RAM, Intel i7-12700H and the mentioned RTX 3060 GPU. It’s also a laptop.
Here are some outputs from Hollow Knight: Silksong running as linux native game:
