Linux Gaming: Native vs. Wine vs. Windows 7 Performance

[Michael]

Interesting.
Could you also test an AMD gfx with the proprietary driver?
Could you also add the CPU usage?

Depending upon interest level / impression count of this article.

The Heaven native results look strange too me, on my sytem it's a bit different:


Linux OGL ~ FPS: 33.3 / Scores: 839 / Min FPS: 22.7
Windows OGL ~ FPS: 31.7 / Scores: 798 / Min FPS: 21.9
Windows DX11 ~ FPS: 30.6 / Scores: 770 / Min FPS: 20.9

Read the article... it's explained.

Sorry, I only read the first section as I was crazy about the results. Do you already have in mind, which further games you are going to test?

@Licaon

Usually Anisotropy is set to 16 in linux.

That's not the point as long as the same settings are used for comparison.

Windows OGL in WINE ~ FPS: 33.1 / Scores: 835 / Min FPS: 22.6

On the other hand why do tests 7/10/12 show only a black screen in Linux in both native Linux 64bit OpenGL and Windows 32bit WINE OpenGL? ( at least on nVidia )

And you are really sure you modified the Linux setting? Not that i laugh... Upload html result files.

I've just copy/pasted the results above from the HTMLs, what's the laughing matter ?

As I see, you used 64-bit linux vs 32-bit windows. Try using 32bit vs 32 bit or 64bit vs 64 bit system. I have a feeling that 32bit systems are overall slower than their 64bit counterparts (at least it's true for my laptop).

Maybe from the Win settings - definitely NOT Linux.

On the non-Linux side was Microsoft Windows 7 Professional x64
