By default, regardless of graphical settings or Proton version, the game won't run more than ~28fps, limiting the game to 4 cores with taskset helps and brings it up to ~45fps.
Using the Native version, the game runs at max vsync'd refresh rate (165fps) with max settings @ 1440p.
P.S. I've added the Linux version of the no Chromatic Aberration / Depth of Field / no Intros mod to PCGamingwiki.

By default, proton will run the game in a virtual desktop, this breaks controller support. They run the game in a virtual desktop to prevent the game from starting to a white screen.
As others have mentioned you can get controllers to work by disabling the virtual desktop and using gamescope.
Disable virtual desktop: Run protontricks --gui, select Sleeping Dogs, click Select the default wineprefix, click OK, click Run winecfg, in the Graphics tab, uncheck Emulate a virtual desktop, click OK, close the Winetricks window.
Using gamescope with Sleeping Dogs: In Steam, set the game's launch options (change the resolution to what you prefer): gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- %command%
Using mangohud's with gamescope ; Set the Steam launch option like this: gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- mangohud %command%
Using AMD's FSR included in Proton GE 6.13+ (set the ingame resolution to a supported FSR one, like 2954x1662) : gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- env WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2 %command%
The game lacks Anistropic Filtering: Create a file called dxvk.conf, add d3d11.samplerAnisotropy = 16 to it, set the game's launch option (change your location for the dxvk.conf file): gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- env DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/kevin/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.config/dxvk.conf %command%
Combining all the above to get FSR, AF and mangohud: gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- env WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2 DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/kevin/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.config/dxvk.conf mangohud %command%
The game experiences notable slowdowns in certain sections where the framerate can drop into single digits.
The issue can be solved by opening the Console: Control + Alt + ~, typing both of these commands:
cvaradd r_skipFoliage 1
cvaradd r_postprocessdofmode -1
The commands need to be re-executed when the game is restarted.
