Run on win, linux and win version in wine. Comparing the 3 results you can figure out if wine is the problem, or some settings in linux if wine and linux results are similar
It’s not unusual to see better performance on Wine compared to native Windows. Wine is a compatibility layer, not an emulator. So there’s not a lot of overhead. Additionally, vanilla Windows has a lot of background bloat consuming resources.
Internet searches show many instances of people reporting higher FPS in games on Wine vs vanilla Windows (on the same machine).
That’s actually excellent. I knew that ‘Wine Is Not an Emulator’ from their web page but I didn’t know I could expect better performance in anything running with it.
Find something which has native linux version as well, e.g. passmark performance test.

I check Cinebench and Passmark
Cinebench
Wine - 4112 points
Windows - 3874 points
Passmark
Wine - 7053 points
Windows - 6864 points
Linux - 7145 points
It looks like the problem is in cpu-z and not in wine or linux
Why is windows slacking so much there? Or is lower better on these ones?

That’s a test I’d like to see the results of
