60 fps when you were getting 20 on windows…? Wat? Were shaders still compiling on Windows?

Most probably: wrong driver + background windows updates + background windows telemetry + background windows downloading ads + background windows Superfetch (SysMain) + background trial version of McAfee with windows

Win 7 worked pretty well on my 2010 desktop [Care2Quad 4GB DDR2] until a few years ago, when I just switched to Linux and didn't care to look back.

So it is a comparison between an unconfigured Windows vs a configured Linux?

Geewiz, I wonder which one will perform better to their liking.

[-] itsdavetho@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah but unconfigured windows currently is the winner since it actually works, though I'd like to prove that wrong and properly configure Linux , however I'm in no hurry since I've had to format my drive twice already

Gaming on Linux can still be considered difficult in general. The main reason I don't have any difficulty is because the few games I play are well supported on Linux, giving me few to no crashes. Playing Elite Dangerous (Epic version) on wine seems to be causing memory leaks over time, making me have to restart every 5 hours, but Linux supported games I get from GoG work perfectly for normal scenarios normal => Single monitor 60FPS.

Apart from gaming, Linux has been a charm. But I am one of those ppl who likes programming and creating my own solutions for problems (which fits well with Linux), so I can't say the same to someone who just wants "a solution. Any solution".

Yeah I know it sounds ridiculous haha, and I'm really disappointed that it didn't work out.

[-] Chobbes@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

What game were you comparing?

[-] itsdavetho@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

That specific case was a unity game , 7 days to die.

7DtD uses Vulkan on Linux for high performance.

[-] itsdavetho@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Oh really maybe I'll give it another try then

I also had troubles with Deep Rock Galactic and a native application as well. Maybe a poor configuration.

But the real thing keeping me from the switch is not being able to figure out how to properly use my audio interface for low latency real time production 😮‍💨

[-] Urist@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

DRG is the same IIRC. I do not know the state of Vulkan drivers on Nvidia, but if you crash they are probably the issue. For low latency audio check Archwiki on proaudio. Got a Focusrite for christmas I am going to setup myself. Should be doable.
