Your doubts re completely unfounded. Linux was set up in 5 mins, I just installed OpenSUSE, installed Steam and ran the games, since the AMD/Intel drivers are included in the kernel.
On Windows I had to set up for like 45 mins until the installation and all the updates and drivers were done.
Just finished benchmarking. Vermintide 2 is about 15% faster on Linux while Doom Eternal is about 25% faster on Windows. I will have the video up as soon as it renders. :)
You say that like I'm afraid to do it. You're missing the point that these games don't have benchmarks lol. If you want I can do a gameplay comparison but don't tell me, the areas or movements are not the same. :)
Also these games couldn't be more diverse. I tested DXVK, VD3D and Vulkan (both on Linux and Windows) with these games. If you can find a more diverse benchmark please let me know, cause I haven't found one.
Also, I'm already doing benchmarks on my i7-10870H and 3080 laptop. Linux won't go above 80W, cause of the Nvidia Drivers (545 Beta btw) so the difference will be IMMENSE for Windows there.
I don't see an argument which disproves my results apart from you disbelief.
But I like the Nvidia comment. I'll do a video of Linux vs Windows on my 3080M laptop. We'll see how true is that Nvidia works as well as AMD on Linux. :)
If you have an Nvidia GPU don't switch to Linux, especialy if it's a pre-Turing model. If you have a Turing+ GPU though wait for a year until NVK is actually usable, then look into it imo.
I will disagree and that's why I made this video. Been benchmarking games for 3 years now, mostly on AMD systems. It went from about same performance, to slightly better, to this. 17% average improvement is nothing to laugh at. It's the difference between a 4090 and a 7900XTX on Windows. So people can literally save $1000 just by using Linux.
What you say, does mostly apply to Nvidia users though.
Yeah Adaptive quality aims for 60 FPS. In this particular situation it shouldn't matter at all.
Still the difference is quite high to even get close to Linux. I didn't even notice that sorry.
The aim of this video is to show fresh installs. What a user would do. You install OpenSUSE on an AMD system and fire up the games. You install Windows, run the updates, install the drivers and fire up the games. That's whta most people would do and I think they care about. Both installations are fresh out of the oven and I just ran the game son them. This is the result.
Yeah without an overlay FF Benchmarks are pretty bad. XD Great series though!
Usually on an AMD GPU things run better. Then you look at the API. If it's a DX9/DX10/DX11 game it will most certainly run better on Linux. On the other hand if it's a DX12 game you will probably get the same performance most usually and +-10% in a few cases.
So the main thing to remember is to use an AMD GPU on Linux. If you're on Nvidia you're better off with Windows most probably, unless you care enough for the workflow benefits Linux offers.
