SteamOS: Desktop vs. Big Picture Mode Benchmarks
Curious if running Linux games via Steam's Big Picture Mode causes a performance impact over a conventional desktop session? Here's some benchmarks.
An independent Phoronix user uploaded some benchmark results this week to OpenBenchmarking.org of SteamOS sessions: the Big Picture Mode vs. the desktop session with GNOME Shell. GeForce GTX 780 graphics were used for testing while SteamOS was loaded with the Linux 3.10 kernel and NVIDIA 340.32 driver.
