All three Linux distros managed to beat Windows 11 while using Vavle's Proton compatibility layer.

Nobara OS, Arch Linux and Pop!_OS beat Windows 11 by a slim margin in fps (delta 8) in Windows native games - Cyberpunk 2077, Forspoken, Starfield and The Talos Principle II. Windows 11 wins in Rachet & Clank.

ComputerBase’s testing was done on an all-AMD test rig, featuring a Ryzen 7 5800X (non-3D) and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.

Update: Windows 11 wins in one game.

    For now I will probably keep buying used Nvidia cards, but I’ve considered going AMD for graphics at some point. Love my Ryzen CPU.

      Yea, Ryzen Is awesome! No plans on going back to Intel.

      While Intel might have better IPC, AMD having twice as many cores easily makes up for this.

      Might come with an argument in regard to single-threaded games, but that should not be relevant with pretty much everything having moved to multi-thread by now.

        And if it’s still single threaded you’ll most likely have plenty of performance no matter the brand.
