Meanwhile the Unigine OpenGL benchmarks show the potential for the Ubuntu 23.04 graphics performance to match that of Windows 11 Pro when using the same graphics API across and also native builds for each operating system. With NVIDIA's Linux and Windows drivers being derived from the same shared code-base, under such conditions the performance tends to be quite similar.
