Can’t say much on the technical shit, but I’ve only had one game perform worse on linux. Most actually seem to do better, and I have an nvidia card. Though I don’t play much in the way of multi-player or online stuff, so mileage may vary.

I know Linux driver support that Nvidia has put out has brought it to a pretty good place, but my understanding is that its still not at parity and there is a performance impact to switching.

Fair enough, maybe I could give it another try.

The performance issue is there’s no frame gen with DLSS yet. Other than that, I get better performance from my NVIDIA card on Linux than I do on windows.

Think of the steamdeck. That’s Linux, it’ll play modern games on decent settings and it’s 3 year old hardware now. It’s not an optimized OS like a PS4 ( nearest analog in terms of performance specs) it’s a full linux desktop OS.

I know, I own one. I just also have a desktop with a 4070 super.

It’s a big incentive for me to make my next card upgrade an AMD card. That’s already a laundry list of other good reasons to do so nowadays, but it’s real hard to justify buying a graphics card in this economy.
