I never said ALL games run better on Linux. But on AMD most games do. I cannot fit ALL games in a video. You're talking in generalities that cannot be proven. I did say more videos will come. Apart from Ray Tracing, gaming on Linux on AMD is both faster and smoother. Can you prove me wrong? Do it. :)
Yes, it's great that you actually test Windows and Linux on the same system.
I'm just going off the title since it implies that Linux generally runs Windows games better, which isn't the norm.
According to the german tech magazin ComputerBase, Linux generally performs much worse on the 1% low fps. Those largely determine how smooth the game actually feels.

This is very interesting. Keep in mind these are all DX12 games and VKD3D is still under heavy dev. Still nice to have it as information. Thank you very much! :)
Yes and iirc the benchmarks are from relatively short after the release so there might be room for improvement.
Imo new titles are important to look at when it comes to how people perceive gaming on linux for the first time.
It's always suprising how well and consistent dxvk performs. I'm sure it's a lot of work with many games requiring special attention.
Edit: typo
To be fair, AMD performs better on Linux than Windows in general because AMD makes shit drivers.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, as a graphics programmer AMD's proprietary drivers are unquestionably the buggiest which I have to work with on a regular basis. Seemingly innocent stuff which works perfectly fine on every other vendor (and on the same GPU using the open-source drivers) will cause the proprietary drivers to break horribly or run slower by multiple orders of magnitude.
Thank you, exactly my point.
