The drivers really are better on the Nvidia side so far. After having used AMD graphics for so long in my family, I then jumped to Nvidia sometime in January I think. I previously used an HD4850 then a HD6850, and the AMD drivers in Linux just kept getting worse. QuoteThat good but i afraid it the other way for ATI users like me. It is just what I have so far consistently experienced. I do not claim that this will be what everyone experiences whether now, in the past or in the future. Please note that the experience may be completely different for AMD graphics users and Intel graphics users. Please feel free to correct me, offer me guidance or even post your own results! The more tests we have, the greater the sample we can make judgement from.Ī thank you to the kind folks who guided me on ways to better my future test videos based on my older videos, I hope to do a few more of these if people enjoy watching them. I am only human, so it is very likely there were mistakes or things I may have overlooked. Please pause the video at 0:08 to view the settings at which I played L4D2 (the settings are same across both OSs). I ran the Windows test multiple times to ensure similar results, and I ran the Ubuntu test twice with the same results. Taking this into consideration, both OS's were put under the duress of running L4D2 at maxed out settings while simultaneously performing the screen recording as well. Remember, that Windows is usually heralded as having better support and drivers compared to Linux in general. Some may point out that Fraps is too heavy of a screen recorder to get an accurate reading of fps, however I tried other alternatives available to me such as XFire and MSI Afterburner and Fraps hands down is the only one giving Windows a fighting chance. This reassures me that Native gaming is a must over Wine gaming (although this is just my opinion). Needless to say, I was actually shocked when watching the videos and seeing the difference myself.
