Originally posted by sireangelus View PostTo Michael: i think you're missing the purpose of latency benchmarking. It's not only to have a average reading, but what matters most is how many, how frequent and the severity of the frame spikes, because that's the major cause of "perceived lagging"(beyond networking), usually a slightly slower frame average but with a much more stable frame latency is preferable over an inflated fps average with lots of spikes(like we see on this review, windows have It worse.)
This is also why I prefer to play LoL on Linux even if the avg on windows is way higher.. I have frame latency problems even with VSync on and an apparent rock-solid 60fps

Don't like it? Come up with a more popular distribution.

We are not in the corporate sector
Originally posted by gamerk2 View PostNo, you benchmark the most used distro, since thats the one people care the most about.

As this article is only meant to measure the GNU/Linux Intel driver performance (which is a Kernel-matter), the desktop environment shouldn't be the bottleneck here.
Ubuntu's Unity is a _huge_ one and we should avoid it.

Judgement day

I should've been clearer and went too specific: Michael should compare Ubuntu's overall performance with another distribution.
Beforehand, we'll have to wait for judgement day.
Comparing various DE's running _on top of_ Ubuntu doesn't make sense. In my opinion, Ubuntu itself is the problem.
It may be very popular, but it's a mess.Last edited by frign; 23 July 2013, 02:46 PM.

Linux Experience Better
While in OpenArena and Unvanquished, Windows had a slightly higher FPS than Linux, its max latency was higher than Linux's, thus you would actually have a better experience using Linux. I would consider this scenario to be win for Linux even though the numbers show a "loss".
