Issue with a game performance. Nvidia

Hi guys. I'm trying to find a reason why my Arch Linux distributive works slower than Ubuntu 17.10.1 for Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
I use a special map from Workshop to calculate the average FPS.
My results:
Arch Linux - 60-80 FPS
Ubuntu 17.10.1 - 80-100 FPS

My hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4710HQ
GPU: GeForce GTX 860M

Versions of packages:

Arch
nvidia-utils 390.25-2
nvidia 390.25-10
glu 9.0.0-4
mesa 17.3.3-2
mesa-vdpau 17.3.3-2
Ubuntu

nvidia? 390.25

Xorg config is similar to Ubuntu version:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "modesetting"
    BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0"
    Option "AccelMethod" "None"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "intel"
    Device "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0"
    Option "ConstrainCursor" "off"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on"
    Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT"
EndSection

I used Gnome with xorg for both systems.
I tried to install the same versions of libraries for Arch but this didn't help me.  I had a theory that the problem was because of a kernel version (4.13 vs 4.15), but I rebuilt and ran Ubuntu kernel inside Arch and I did not give a successful result.
What do you think about the difference in performance?

Re: Issue with a game performance. Nvidia

Search the forum. There is a topic that discusses this at length.
