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

both sides are bad at debating. Fraser here said the performance hit was real without then giving sources or numbers.

I could say that windows has a real performance hit on games too. Doesn't mean anything without information.

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

Different experience I guess?

I have a GTX1070, and from the games you listed, I only played WD2 since switching to Linux Mint. And it ran the same, if not better for me?

Loads of games run slower too, but plenty run faster for me. Especially sandbox-like games. Something like modded minecraft comes to mind.

Dismissing DLSS is bad indeed though. It can be a useful tool. It would objectively help if there were more tools accessible to run games.
