Changing Proton version for performance? (feddit.org)

Do you ever change proton version of games if they run for performance reasons, or do you just stick to the default config?

For example, let's say a game is about a year old, so it would run on an early proton 9. Might changing to GE 10-8 improve performance and battery runtime / FPS?

I started thinking about this when I gave a shot to Wuthering Waves. It runs out of the box, but GPU is a little bit less under pressure with GE 10-8.

What's your take?

I mean if you really want to sure. But at that point just start looking into enabling various tweaks manually yourself.
