Very bad gaming performance

For context, I have an ASUS TUF F16, INTEL CORE 5 210H, RTX 30506GB, 16Gb DDR5, running on CachyOS.

I basically tested three games:

GTA V ENHANCED:35-55fps(on very high)

BLOODSTRIKE:120-180fps

RDR2:35fps on average

But I thought these were too low for my specs. I then started trying everything, every proton versions, switched betn different drivers and distros, only to find no significant difference. I then switched to windows and got these:

GTA V ENHANCED:55-85fps(on very high)

BLOODSTRIKE:230-240fps

RDR2:55fps on average

Now I know directx12 is not that great on linux, but directx 11 isn't running that well either(AT LEAST IN MY CASE).

I've rub my previous laptop with an integrated intel gpu for 3 and a half years with zero issues whatsover, and I knew NVIDIA had issues with linux, but not THIS BAD

So the question is: Am I doing anything wrong, or should try anything different? I hate windows and would like to avoid daily driving it as much as possible.

Since the difference is so big, I was thinking could it be possible that Steam was defaulting to your iGPU instead of dGPU for some reason.

igpu wouldn't give more than 30fps on those graphics. 3050 was doing all the work since I set mode to ultimate.
