In this video I'm checking the performance difference between Nobara 39 and Windows 11 at 1440p and 4k in games, using a 4080 Super and see if there is any improvement over the previous video.

Still consider gaming in Linux? Let me know in the comments below

I posted the same on your 7900 XTX video. Mangohud does have a logging function for benchmarking. Default key combo to toggle is Left Shift + F2. It logs the performance data, shows the avg, max and lows on the overlay and generates a csv file which you can use to make charts andngraphs. The developer's website supports uploading of the csv to generate charts and graphs automatically.

actually good to see that the difference between linux and windows is not mainly the number of titles actually playable anymore... but some 10-40 fps difference.

I'm curious to see the performance gap between Nobara 40 and Windows 11. Will you cover that as well?

Wow, that is beyond pathetic LOL. Its like they completely throw away the game optimizations out of the window when making the linux driver or they have no clue how to optimize with proton. Both of these are just a disaster of consumers. If we want linux adoption to grow, Nvidia performance can't stay like this. Hopefully NVK matures like RADV and I hope it happens fast. If the 7900 XTX doesn't fair any better though, I will take all of what I just said back.

I think AMD GPUs will be much better then Nvidia
