so i have been testing starfield in linux and im NOT getting good performance. but the odd thing is that no mater what graphics setting i choose it dosent matter and the performance is the same.my linux performance is about 40-55 fps but in windows 11 its 86-110 fps. normally thats not too surprising but people keep saying that specifically for this game the performance of this game is better in linux i tried steam version and running through wine and its about the same.
tried wine-staging and wine GE and for steam i tried proton experimental and proton-ge and all the same.
im running nobara linux (fedora based) w KDE
gpu: 3090 Ti (resizable bar enabled)

Known issue, Nvidia has to fix it.
i see. one thing people keep talking about is the 535.43.16 driver. but i had that installed at one point and the game couldn’t even start. I had to update to 545.23.06 to even get the game launching
