Didn't expect a follow up this quick. Anyway, a few random observations:

  • I would've tested Assasins Creed Mirage without adaptive quality, as it might smudge the results. Shouldn't make too much of a difference though, at least at these framerates.
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider compares HBAO+ vs inferior BTAO, so not really that useful.
  • The frame graph for Watchdogs: Legion on Windows looks... weird, to say the least. Even though it ultimately comes out on top it might be worth investigating into, as it might have an effect on the other games as well.
  • I completely forgot how useless the benchmarks in Final Fantasy games are. At least there's the overlay.

  • Yeah Adaptive quality aims for 60 FPS. In this particular situation it shouldn't matter at all.
  • Still the difference is quite high to even get close to Linux. I didn't even notice that sorry.
  • The aim of this video is to show fresh installs. What a user would do. You install OpenSUSE on an AMD system and fire up the games. You install Windows, run the updates, install the drivers and fire up the games. That's whta most people would do and I think they care about. Both installations are fresh out of the oven and I just ran the game son them. This is the result.
  • Yeah without an overlay FF Benchmarks are pretty bad. XD Great series though!
