NVIDIA On Ubuntu 14.04 Has Some New Advantages Over Windows 8.1

That's not going to happen since I don't have a way for PTS to obtain power readings under Windows in a uniform and automated manner.

Can't you use a physical device for that (idk what it's called in English)? But I understand that it would take more time and it would not be as automated. But once a year (or upon a release of most common operating systems) such tests would be great.

I use a physical device to monitor it, but under Windows I currently don't have a way to poll it like I do on Linux. Without the automation and repeatability support for accuracy, it's not going to be done.

I'd like to see these same test but with Windows using DirectX.
Also some Source based games.

i have the same performance in both systems with dota 2, windows is not better and directx is a garbage for some reason opengl is used in CAD

Performance is already good, but what about missing features in Linux? Still no support for NVIDIA 3D Vision!

What a steaming POS! ****** PPA crap. Nvidia XServer shows one version and the Nvidia driver in the repo shows a newere one.

$ nvidia-settings
