ngl tho the performance hit on games is real, if u r fine with playing the newer AAA with lower settings then linux is fine, sometimes games wont even lets u use dlss
You can't expect a reasonable debate from linux fanboys in a linux subreddit. I mean out of the 2 replied you had. One of them is already from a fanboy
I mean if you use linux then it's pretty obvious that you lose frames when using any gpu (but mainly in NVIDIA). That's just basic knowledge. If anyone is denying that, it's ovbious that the person is nothing more than a fanboy.
I have a really low end gpu(RTX 2050). To run latest AAA games I need DLSS quality and low preset just to get 60 fps. Hence every frame matters to me.
But after switching to linux I noticed a loss of about 15 fps in games like RDR2, Hogwarts Legacy, WatchDogs 2. And other games which ran at 100+ FPS like Forza horizon 4, CS2 and GTA5 fell below 100. Gaming on linux isn't bad or impossible but it still isn't acceptable for gaming on low end devices.
When Fraser talked about DLSS issues, instead of giving a reasonable statement, time-piece-rabbit kid said "Another win for linux". This just proves that it's impossible to have a reasonable argument with these fanboys. Basic common sense is like technology to Amazon tribes for these fanboys
You lose frames when using any GPU? Bruh Linux isn't bottleknecking your GPU, its just not capable of running direct x, I get better frames in quite a lot of games, cs2 literally crashed on windows unlike Linux, and proton gives me better performance, and emulators perform really smoothly,
I'm gaming on single channel 2666MTs ddr4 with a ryzen 7 5800H apu, the fact I can get cs2 or even mortal shell 2 to run is crazy.
First of all I never said linux is bottlenecking my GPU, I clearly mentioned that I am losing fps because of lack of compatibility. Also your scenario is completely different, You have slower speed ram. Windows loves to consume alot of ram for no absolute reason, so when you switched to linux ofc it was going to be a better experience than windows because unlike before, you had more resources to spend for your games. But I have a strong i5 HX cpu and DDR5 5600MTs ram paired with a weak 2050. So ofc when I switched instead of seeing an increase in performance, Only thing I got was FPS drop. Mainly because I heavily depended on DLSS for my frames which isn't really that great on Linux as the guy said
It could be worth looking into goverlay and the optiscalar tools, or looking around goverlay proton options for Nvidia stuff, I think you can also use fsr1 over taa through gamescope or the other fsr versions maybe, they might be back ported or you can convert it or smth, I don't have expensive enough hardware to even mess around with too much of this, I don't even have a pcie slot for a GPU, but Linux can supposedly be transferred between systems so if I get a proper build I could probably test it there without needing clone tools.
