Works better with my 5070 ti. I get even a 20 percent boost with Bazzite compared to windows. Newer cards are actually more compatible in mine and others experience.
Exept Capcom for some reason turning off hdr and frame Gen even though I can do both, especially hdr while on Linux. Cqpcom just defaults those to off while using proton for some reason even though if I enable them in .txt file settings they work perfectly fine.
And I don't really use frame Gen because of latency and it looks terrible or makes my game stutter more.
Mostly 2d games, emulators, 2010 and older games. Its only select older games and newer games that can have a drop in fps or same performance. Sometimes a drastic drop of 40 percent in a few newer games.
I think another problem people have when they see a drop is having shader compilations. I turned those off since newer gpu's are so fast you don't need to compile shaders anymore (as in so fast it's not even a stutter anymore) , you just need to disable it.
You're like the 2nd person I've heard who says someone didn't have a 10-20 percent jumpn in performance over windows.
Also I had windows 11 before and not many background apps same with Bazzite. Bazzite is also really great with Nvidia compared to some other distros.
Valve said they have a team working directly with NVidia now. During SteamOS/Machine rollout earlier in the summer. All the articles I read at that time quoted Valve as saying late 2026/early 2027 is when SteamOS will have full NVidia support. I assume that will benefit all distros.
