I was just thinking the same thing.
And it shouldn't be the case- that doesn't seem to be the case on Windows. GPU should have more of an effect on FPS and CPU less. Which leads me to believe there are inefficiencies either in OpenGL drivers, or the way games use OpenGL(engines), or X-windows or somewhere.
And there's probably low hanging fruit that could be optimized away quite easily. Trick would be to find them...

Thanks, but comparing to what? The only change recently made in PTS7 Git was bolding the title and shortening up the identifier height on multi-way comparisons, or is that what you are referring to?

Well done test with surprising results. I'd be interested to find out the explanation. Perhaps at least on Linux, even if it is due to some fix-able problem, the theory that a game/computer combination is CPU-bound or GPU-bound, needs to be re-considered.
If it is a fixable problem, my first question would be if there generally is triple-buffering in the games, and if that works correctly with the graphics stack.

On mediocre CPU and GPU everything is clear, Linux's best case driver scenario is slower than WIndows in every single tests.
Now if we don't use best drivers, situation is even worse But we can make it up to look better of course, if we use not mediocre hardware to avoid an issue for some time and again and again...Last edited by dungeon; 08 February 2017, 02:43 PM.
