Windows vs Linux Gaming - Apex Legends

Every day more and more games are playable on Linux due to Proton (thanks to Valve). Some of them barely works, but some of them works better than on Windows.
Here is the Apex Legends, tested on both - Linux and Windows.

Linux version: Deepin 20.6

This stutter are shader compiling. You need either to play a litle and let you cache pipline build or there are some reddit users shareing their shaders

[galacticaledge]

The stuttering from the shaders compiling. After some time, it won't be like that and you can expect performance to be better than on Windows.

If you had the Zen Kernel, you would have done even more FPS. I swear one time, I was with a friend playing around on Garuda Linux on my old PC. It had a Ryzen 5 and a GTX 1050Ti. We logged into Minecraft and in 480p and 4 chunks with low graphics it did 4300+ fucking FPS 💀💀

I know they blocked playing it 8 months ago but does it really work on proton ?
or anti-cheat will instantly detect that Im playing it on linux?

[LucasSideris]

if you limit the fps through MangoHud, it helps massively with the stutter issue on some games

I tried it on my Asus ROG with RX6800M, and there is massive difference, Lag, Ping is one thing, but it is like 80 - 100 FPS better than Windows, I did not expect that, I get Maximum FPS in Apex on Full HD 🤣🤣🤣😂 something that I wasn't able to achieve on my Desktop PC with Windows. It's AMD so it's better with Linux I guess, but remember about Gamemode and Zen kernel, quite important stuff ;)

WHat about deleting that video? It's so wrong because you didn't compile all the shaders yet.

No shot you put " Give em the love " by doc as your intro

Linux will be better soon i have heard many people goes over to Linux. Can you please make more game test Linux vs windows 10?

[yoko_bby]

To all the people saying to benchmark with this and that distribution you can find tons of gaming benchmarks with different distributions the margin of error is like between 1 to 5 FPS between distributions

[karlmarx]

Use Clear Linux please, it has the highest performance.

[guerrill]

Hey! I just discovered linux to play games! Could you update us with a gameplay now? Thanks!

[idcrafter-cgi]

i have no fps stutter with APEX even tho i have everything on max and i use KDE on wayland

[roid]

Interesting. On windows theres this Shader compiling step that happens before you enter the main screen. It alwasy says downloading ../6814.

This doesnt happen on linux?

[monsterslayer]

is that KDE? i've only used GNOME so far

[tunnandaaung]

Almost everygame is same fps but less frame spike on linux for most game

[Zeropoint]

let the game finish shader pre catching first

[bathsaltfiend]

why are you on medium if your rig can't even do 144fps though?

[Munkhbayarkhavtgai]

Ntoskrnl.exe is the problem for Microsoft it starts so randomly and takes so much of my cpu and Linux ubuntu doesn't so I like Linux ubuntu at that point.

[leonny]

linux deepin is not cool to test games do the same thing using kde neon and you will see that this practically doesn't happen the deepin distribution doesn't offer great performance in games.
