I’ll take a look later but quick check he is using two different devices which means its not identical hardware/ firmware.
Also there are many many many more cases where performance has been the same

And countless others who see no difference between windows and Linux.
Most times if there is is due to dxvk / Proton fixing a game bug/bottleneck, or invalid testing with not identical settings/hardware.
There is no way windows is using more power and giving lower clock rates without some other bug effecting it.

I’m also suspicious of those tests since they don’t show details like power usage. Same problem Tom’s did here, took the data at face value missing the clear signs in the original video showing how it was tested improperly.
There are many tweaks and bugs like 17w being 20w+ with this version of the os.

This is purely from a broken test. Watch the video and you’ll see that its not testing with the same power limits.
17w tests are actually 16w vs 20w+ and 35w test is 25w vs 35w
This leads to drastically higher clock speeds on both cpu and gpu as seen in the video and thus higher fps (and power draw, so lower battery life)
Please help stop the spread of misinformation

It’s bad test.
Watch the video the tdp, clock speeds for cpu and gpu are much higher on Linux which accounts for the differences

Because they funded the game development?

25m, and advance to others.

They have before… 12 years ago was first occurrence

They are doing refunds and the game servers are shutting down from a lawsuit.
How is this epic bad?
- Comment on The $1999 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 makes the rest of the RTX 50 series look suspiciously sensible 9 months ago:
The 5080 is over 50% cut down which is the largest gap yet.
Their performance graphs are also very misleading by using 3 fake frames did every real one vs 1faked on 4000 series.
