As we've been seeing for years in these cross-platform tests known to be of similar quality between Windows and Linux, the NVIDIA driver performance is nearly identical. In some cases the Linux results are a few frames short, but nothing really dramatic.

Like with Xonotic being slightly faster under Windows, perhaps due to the CPU frequency scaling driver on Linux or other differences. One thing to note though is the peak frame-rates were higher on Windows while the minimum frame-rates tended to be higher on Linux.
