    I really like that now some Content Creators are working on providing useful information for Linux gamers. Especially information like bad Frame pacing or “unreasonable” bad performance for some certain games for certain hardware is a very important information to make a good decision when buying a card.

    Me personally I am not very interested in the performance comparison between Linux and Windows. I choose Linux as my daily driver for specific reasons, and game performance was not a high priority. But knowing which Hardware might have strange performance problems compared to other Hardware if I wamt to game is always a very nice thing.

    I liked that the Intel B580 was included in the charts. This gave me some usefull information for comparing it to a AMD 9060 XT. Only thing I am missing is if it is the 8GB or 16GB version of the Sapphire Pulse. But I did not check their Blog/Site post yet.

      100% this. I’ve been on Linux longer than Steam has, and I’m not changing anytime soon. I’m probably also not going to buy Nvidia (I value FOSS drivers), but maybe I will if the performance gap is significant enough.

      I forget as I wasn’t looking for intel, but If it ran stuff, it was likely the 16GB, and if it was excluded often for not running higher resolutions it was probably the 8GB, as they did mention the lower ram cards had weird issues in some games and simply crashed on load.
