This is a new laptop Asus TUF Dash F15 dual boot windows11/ubuntu22.10
When running Unigine Heaven benchmark with Phoronix Test Suite, see about 70-80 FPS under Linux. When running the same benchmark under windows I get around 300fps. This was running 800x600 windowed mode. Not really sure what to look at. Maybe something with the Intel/Nvidia dual gpu setup? I could also be running the the test wrong.

Thanks

Update
After setting the 3070 to performance mode from Nvidia On-Demand in the Nvidia settings, the Unigine Heaven benchmark actually tested out faster than Windows 11.

That means it was using the Intel one previously.

Just wanted to provide another bit of information. After setting nvidia card to performance mode I was having issues starting steam from the taskbar icon. I had to right click it and start with the Intel GPU as opposed to the Nvidia card.

This Link provides further details in case someone else has a similar issue.
