That card only supports Vulkan 1.2 in hardware and Steam's Proton does not run well on that (it needs Vulkan 1.4), so most games crash (or have graphical issues) because the DirectX calls cannot be translated properly.
I have a 780Ti card and I used Proton-Sarek from here, it makes it work with a lot of games: https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-Sarek
In general, I would recommend an AMD card for Linux. Nvidia is just painful, especially older cards that aren't well supported on Nouveau.
Those old Nvidia GTX cards also don't support adaptive clocking, so they run on low clockspeeds by default. You might need to set the clocks manually if you want (kinda) the same performance you get on Windows.
You can list the available power states with
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pstateand then set one like this (if 0f is the one you want):echo 0f > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pstate(only if you use the nouveau driver, not the one from Nvidia)
