Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11 (m.youtube.com)

The YouTube channel "Maximum Fury" conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called "Phantom Liberty" on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more frames compared to Windows 11.

The hardware used for testing included an Asrock B550 motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU from the first RDNA generation, along with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. The CPU, RAM, and GPU were overclocked, and the system utilized undervolting to save energy costs.

When testing the game at 1080p resolution with high textures, the Linux system achieved an average of 63.72 frames per second (fps), while Windows 11 managed only 48.55 fps. This suggests that the game should run noticeably smoother on the Linux system.

well, unfortunately i have the opposite but it's not too bad. high settings with motion blur etc.,fsr disabled but with chromatic aberration on i get like 10fps less than windows gtx 1660 ti and ryzen 5 3600 prolly a nvidia issue

Chromatic aberration drops my fps too, on windows 10

Chromatic aberration is so bad, it's trying to imitate bad lenses in a camera instead of our eyes which are so fine tuned that we don't really have it(unless you need glasses lenses)

@arin @gothicdecadence
Hate to tell you, but eyes have chromatic aberration. They have lots of optical faults. They're really pretty crappy, but our visual system learn to filter out and ignore it.

Not true, when i have glasses on i see the chromatic aberration, but not when i take them off. The game exaggerates CR like old cameras where newer high quality lenses on cameras don't have such bad CR mimicked by the game.

@arin You see the chromatic aberration from your glasses. You don't see the aberration from your eyes, same as you don't see the blind spot or the yellow spot, or notice that your peripheral vision is in black and white only.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nice, next game should have black/white peripheral zones

[–] deanne@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

i should've rephrased that,normally the high preset disables chromatic aberration, i enable it and i use the same settings on both operating systems
