Latest pts benchmarks show that GNU/Linux is a superior gaming platform that runs games at much higher framerates than Windows on both AMD and NVidia cards.
This fact combined with Steams new ability to run many Windows games on Linux means there is zero reason to use the buggy spying Windows operating system. The age of the GNU/Linux desktop is upon us. You might as well make the switch now so you're up to date and ready when when businesses, schools, government systems and even your friends and family switch to the free operating system.
Xonotic is another game which runs better on GNU/Linux on most GPUs. But not all. Windows is slightly faster on systems with the GTX 1060 for some reason.
DELET! Stop making fun of RebrandeonTX! ReeeeeeeeeeeeeeTX!

Who knew you'd get more FPS when your OS isn't trying to take what resources it can get to harvest your data
Connor Howard
kek who cares about those stupid games post benchmarks for games people actually play oh wait those don't even work on linux lol
Adam Jones
honestly didn't even notice that those benchmarks have the 2080ti running slower than the 1080ti on the Wintendo and just marginally faster on GNU/Linux.
Ah yes, OpenArena and Xonotic, the worlds most popular games today. YEAR OF LINUX, BABY

Yes so switch to Linux so every single Steam game except 21 of them are buggy as fuck, half broken and run at a free 30% performance loss over Windows. Thanks Proton!
Linux is a fucking joke.

Not very familiar with the rest of the games but I am fairly sure GTA V is one that absolutely doesn't work with Proton on GNU/Linux.
Austin Mitchell
GTAV works fine, if you have an AMD card, you just need corefonts installed. If you use NVidia, you need corefonts and make a dxvk config file tricking GTA into thinking you have an AMD card. NVidia doesn't work normally because it tries looking for nvapi64.dll which doesn't exist in Valve's wine implementation. It should be fixed eventually.
macfag here but fuck this looks great we really might be moving away from windows dominance in a few more years

So where's the benchmarks for actual AAA games? You know... The ones that the majority of gamers are playing right now. Not some no name indie trash that no one has played before.

Nice. I know quite a worthless NEET who plays GTA V all day every day so it's clearly still a popular and important game after all these days. Such burdens on their surroundings and society won't switch to GNU/Linux unless it's totally hassle-free and/or someone else installs it for them, a switch can't require any effort or NEETs won't do it.
Jonathan Powell
There are entire distros made by and for NEETs tho. Look at Arch and Gentoo. People with jobs use something redhat or debian.

Because it's a fun game. New content is nice but it doesn't need it to be fun, especially the multiplayer mode.
Luis Lewis
I tried Monster Hunter World the other day on Manjaro. i5 2500k and RX480, I noticed it was slower in Linux. I wouldn't switch just yet.
Blake Cruz
Valve is putting the big muscle behind gaming on Linux and this whole CoC fiasco starts shortly after What a (((Cohencidence)))
Cameron Hernandez
every game in that list can run on Linux beside Monster hunter and Football manager because of DUnuvo.
they all run at only 5% worse FPS and CSGO/DOTA2/TF2 run at like 10-20% better fps on Linux because they native res.
Jaxon Wilson
I'm guessing Fortnite has more plays than all those games put together. It runs Nintendo/Windows/PS4/XBox so it's kind of sad there isn't a GNU/Linux native game yet
Jonathan Martinez
can you run PoE natively on loonix now?
Josiah Wilson
Who needs 600fps, lol. 60 is enough.
Chase Long
Its almost like not having 300 layers of drm and legacy api bullshit enables a tiny lightweight kernel to have highly performant IPC and hardware access.
Year of the linux desktop truly is coming, especially with Valves Proton project, which works remarkably well.
Ethan Butler
Drivers are more important than underlying hardware for a gpu because of its inherent usage design. AMD has stepped up their game a lot in that department but theyre still nowhere near the coherency that nvidia has, especially on linux.
Christian Lopez
500hz monitors will be here soon.
if you use gsync highest Hz possible is best because 144hz gsync adds like 50ms lag because capping framerate at 143 does that and is required for gsync. gsync it self is like 1ms lag but the capping of framerate is shit.
I will only consider LCD again once I can get a 500hz gsync monitor with 1ms (which is really like 10ms in middle of screen and 15ms at bottom)
its 10ms slower than a CRT but its double the res and 4x the refresh rate ill prob switch at that point. I have 3 good 109b6 Philips crts thou so I can prob last until 500hz 1ms monitors are like 200$ and 1000hz is already out.
Camden Carter
>for some reason Platform-specific optimizations can go a long way.

AAA games will typically perform worse because developers have little incentive to properly optimize a native Linux client.
Jordan Anderson

Gabriel Gomez
According to some guys on the steam play discord, Solux has some kind of crazy witchcraft that makes games run noticeably faster than Ubuntu.
Asher Rivera
Patently false unless youre using the joke that is noveau. Nvidias blob drivers are still easily the best on linux, trailing after intel who only needs function and not performance.
Isaiah Sanders
>benchnark of two irrelevant games nobody ever heared about >muh lincux is bettah xd Freetards actually believe this.
John Wood
both intel and amd fund the development for the mesa graphics library, both of which have their respective implementations already included in most distro installs
Daniel Moore
Having your drivers included in generic kernels isnt the same as having good drivers. I specifically said Nvidia blobs. If you want full freetard then yes AMD beats out, but outside of that nvidia easily beats out amd drivers. Intel again tops them all but they only have to make things show up on the display, theyre not exactly concerned with exuberant performance.
Brandon Watson
>Who needs 600fps, lol. 60 is enough. Agreed. For the purposes of benchmarking to see what's faster and what the differences are you obviously need the numbers. But from my perspective and the most common use-cases.. who cares if one can do 590 and the other 600. The take-away is that it doesn't really matter which GPU you use since all of them can sustain 60 fps just fine.
Jack Wood
Wouldn't the valve wrapper have to do extra work to mediate between Linux OS and windows application resulting in slower fps than either on their own?
Easton Adams
Amd's drivers on linux are superb. Work out of the box, kernel upgrades don't break the system. Compatibility with wayland/weston from day one and other fun stuff. Novidia's closed source drivers are a pain in the ass.
Angel Ross
>i have never used linux The post
Jonathan Jones
Ive had the exact opposite experience. Nvidias blobs can be a pain in the ass to install depending on your distro (optimus on debian is a fucking hellhole), but in terms of functionality they're far better. AMD has always given me traditional freetard levels of annoying trouble.
Connor Cook
>I only use Mint The post
Tyler Peterson
When you are reaching 600fps, you are not benchmarking the gpu. A game with nonexistent shader loads what conclusions does it help you make?
Samuel Evans
>Nvidias blob drivers are still easily the best on linux I absolutely avoid everything Nvidia due to my experiences with their binary blobs perhaps a decade or so ago. The basic problem was that their blobs required some narrow specific range of kernel versions and also narrow specific xorg versions. Not sure how much of a problem this is today - but back then it really was very annoying to be unable to upgrade essential parts without losing graphics.
If you use a LTS distro on older hardware then perhaps the binary blob will work fine for you. But on brand new hardware where you may need the latest kernel to get working audio or something like that then it's quite annoying to have to choose between working audio and working graphics. AMD doesn't have that problem.
>Amd's drivers on linux are superb. Work out of the box, kernel upgrades don't break the system I disagree with this. perhaps because.. I use Linus' git kernel tree. amdgpu does break from time to time and then the AMD developers will drag their feet and take hours to respond to your problem before they give you a patch or tell you Do You Even Bisect Bro, Go Bisect and then you have to bisect and tell them what lines they screwed up and wait more hours for a patch - which may not work, so you have to report it didn't and get a new patch.
Xavier Bell
yes, but can it run battlefield V natively?
Grayson Lewis
>freetard levels of annoying trouble I can't continue with non arguments.
13 years on debian... See? If that was a person,that would be 1 year older than you.
Wyatt Howard
>wrapper have to do extra work to mediate between Linux OS and windows application resulting in slower fps noticed how those games in OP and the second post which show Linux beating Windows in FPS happen to be games running naively on Linux? you may have a point but sssh no-no talking about that, none the wiser, Linux is best

up next: tux racer gets 100% more frames per second in linux than on windows YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP
Mason Cox
there's a windows version of tux racer in fact, i first played tux racer around 2002, on windows, and i didn't even know about linux at the time
Jace Sanchez
This ain't gaming but .. the Java benchmark numbers from that benchmark set of Windows vs Linux have a rather significant performance gap.
Something is really odd when the GTX 1060 running on Linux beats the RTX 2080ti running on Windows. AMD cards perform worse in this one on both platforms but the same gigantic gap is seen between platforms there too. phoronix ran 3 of these Java tests, btw, and all show the same story.
Debian need to be reinstalled every 6 months/year ?
Lincoln Phillips
what the fuck is wrong with amd graphics these days?
Henry Baker
debian is not ubuntu.
Xavier Barnes
nothing. if you are benchmarking in september with software from april, you are going to get bad results. the amd driver is mainlined and you have to have the latest kernel and latest mesa.
David Davis
>but theyre still nowhere near the coherency that nvidia has, especially on linux Then how come it works better on Linux than on Windows?
Xavier Scott
>500hz monitors will be here soon. cause some people don't know how to waste their money
Benjamin Thomas
>if you are benchmarking in september with software from april, you are going to get bad results. come on now
Brayden Walker
Of course, that was half my point. It made me wonder how much Vega performance on Windows was hamstrung by bad drivers.
uhm... no >The latest Radeon Software Windows driver at the time of testing was the 18.9.2 release while on the Linux side was the Linux 4.19-rc5 kernel with Mesa 18.3-dev built against LLVM 8.0 SVN via the Padoka PPA. It's been exactly seven days since 4.19-rc5, that's not exactly "old" software
Jayden Wilson
i dont think siege runs on linux
Cooper Perez
no
Ryan Martin
are the 1080ti and 2080ti systems otherwise indentical? michael does often these needlessly missleading charts that while show the difference between the tested subject, like win vs ubuntu in this case, but the card to card performance is out of the window as the test systems themselves were so different
Jose Morgan

Thomas Jackson
openbenchmarking.org/embed.php?i=1809266-RA-WINDOWS2747&sha=3d760c6&p=2 THIS time he tested all GPUs with the same Intel Core i7-8086K @ 4.01GHz (6 Cores / 12 Threads) and ASUS PRIME Z370-A motherboard. But you do have a point, in this test it was Unigine Heaven in 4k, Dota 2 in 4k, OpenArena in 1440p, Portal in 4k, Xonotic in 4k... not Let's test all the games in 4k or all in 1440p and 4k, as usual it's just random resolutions. And yes, I've noticed that sometimes it's random motherboards/CPUs too. I guess it saves time if you don't have two identical systems and want to do two tests at once but it does skew the results.
Jaxson Cox
it doesn't scew the result, it just makes it so that the reader needs to be far more careful what conclusions he can make from the data shown

Makes sense since you spend 18 hours a day recompiling something after it breaks over and over again, shilling your trash OS.
Now that gamers are about to ruin GNU/Linux, most distros will have dubstep themed sound effects, native RGB support and Mountain Dew ads in bash, what OS will you use?

That's the best you can hope for if you haven't shelled out for a high refresh rate monitor. 1080p 60 fps is the standard outside of richfags.
It's also something that those of us with a GT 710 dream of having someday.
Nolan Gonzalez
Those games specifically (CSGO, Dota 2, TF2) are run with vsync off and the highest framerates possible regardless of refresh rate by 90% of the community.
