So after some more tests I got some interesting results. The problem seems to be that the NVidia card runs much hotter in Linux than in Windows. Playing "The Talos Principle" on Steam in Ubuntu the GPU temperature reaches 95-97C while in Windows 8 it hovers around 75-80C. Pretty much the same thing happens when running ETS2 in Windows and in Wine on Ubuntu.
However, while idle (not running a game) Ubuntu has a lower GPU temperature (~55C) than Windows (~66C).

I guess I'll be creating a new bug report about this.
