DirectX12 performance is terrible on Linux

While it does not increase Avg. FPS, PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 makes AC Valhalla run smoother and removes the stutter.

If you are interested what the setting does, it spoofs Nvidia as an AMD RX 6700 XT, in the proton/wine source code, specifically in winevulkan and winex11.drv.

Playing Silent Hill on DirectX 12 is unplayable. Luckily, it supports DirectX 11.

The performance delta is flagrant. Wish NVIDIA would at least acknowledge it.
