DirectX 11 feature only

Opera GX is support only D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0 (instead of standard chromium kits D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_1 - D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_1) while create the DirectX 11 Device:

//Default Chroumium feature kit
  const D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL kFeatureLevels_CHROMIUM[] = {
      D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_1, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_0, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1,
      D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0,
      D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_3,  D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_2,  D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_1};

//OPERA GX feature kit
  const D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL kFeatureLevels_OPERAGX = {
      D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0};
  
//OPERA GX call D3D11 device
    Microsoft::WRL::ComPtr<ID3D11Device> d3d11_device;
    D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL returned_feature_level = D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE;
    if (FAILED(D3D11CreateDevice(dxgi_adapter.Get(), D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE,
                                 /*Software=*/0,
                                 /*Flags=*/0, kFeatureLevels_OPERAGX,
                                 _countof(kFeatureLevels_OPERAGX), D3D11_SDK_VERSION,
                                 &d3d11_device, &returned_feature_level,
                                 /*ppImmediateContext=*/nullptr))) {
      continue;
    }

You videoborad and videodriver is must supported D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0 (ShaderModel 5.0) for full hardware acceleration. Use DXDIAG (DirectX diagnostic tool - standard Miicrosoft utility) for check you own display features:

Low GX performance

No optimization for GX browser. Lots of overloaded GUI content to render, and the renderer is not optimized for it. Everything is done in one thread and as slow as possible. Opera Software is really noobs.
