Red Dead Redemption 2 actually performs better on Linux than Windows with AMD Graphics

Red Dead Redemption 2 actually performs better on Linux than Windows with AMD Graphics

Based on a video comparison by FlightlessMango you'll observe that in a comparison between Linux and Windows versions, Red Dead Redemption 2 runs faster on Linux with an AMD graphics card.

The man made use of a Core i7 8700k with 16GB of RAM running at 3200Mhz and an AMD Radeon Vega 56 graphics card for both operating systems. For Linux, it used the drivers Mesa-git 20.2.0 , amdvlk-2020.Q2.4-1, and amdgpu-pro-20.10 . For Windows, meanwhile, he used the AMD Radeon Adrenalin 20.5.1 driver.

You'll notice that the game performed a notch better on that Linux platform than on Windows 10. Now we shouldn't make it too dramatic, as at 1080p, the benchmark on Linux was faster by 3-5FPS in average frames per second. For NVIDIA that is the opposite, and seems to run slower.

Anyone with years of Linux will tell you that Ubuntu is not the best distro option 99% of the time.

I hope AMD someday incorporates the fixes and improvements of the Linux drivers on Windows, specially for OpenGL.

The good thing here is that wine has a really low overhead.
That makes moving away from window and keep playing easier.
For me that i most of the time develop and sometime games, keeping an entire windows build just to boot wow is an overkill.
