FPS is not that meaningful of a metric if you get worse graphics or flitches due to wine not implementing something. It might be something that you can't see of course.
Is this an actual concern or a theoretical one? I think I heard that some nvidia specific features don't work out of the box in some games but never heard issues due to wine 'not implementing something'. I feel like that would just cause a crash, no?
Actual concern, had these subtle issues with wine games multiple times. Often they aren't game breaking just annoying.
