This aligns with a suspicion I've had for a while ever since running a R7 370 over a external PCI Eepress 2.0 on a Thinkpad X230. The performance under windows seems to be far better than under Linux. I always wondered if the eGPU got starved a little more on Linux. It would be great to see a direct comparison with Windows and might show some interesting results if some older AMD GPU with native Gen 1 interface were tested. I'm not yet a premium subscriber so I'll just say pretty please Michael.
I've had a similar feeling/experience. Most noticeably under Shadow of Mordor. Window's definitely gets higher frame rates but is constantly jurky and basically unplayable but under Linux the experience was much smoother and totally playable despite around a 15-20fps average difference.
