First up is Tomb Raider, which was only released earlier this year by Feral Interactive for Linux.

With low image quality settings at 4K, the Windows performance was significantly better than the Linux results... Nearly 70% higher frame-rates under Windows for the GTX 1080. This isn't so different from what others have reported via various channels in the past that Tomb Raider is much faster on Windows than Linux.

Even with ultra image quality settings under each OS, Windows 10 was still much faster than Ubuntu 16.04 for this NVIDIA card testing.

F1 2015 is another game that's only recently been released for Linux but has been out for Windows the past year. This is another Feral Interactive port and again with the same settings under each OS we find that the Windows results are much faster.
