Most of the games I play on Linux very much benefit from a beefy GPU. I'm currently playing Hitman (2016), which may not be the most graphically intense game ever, but it certainly looks great with the right hardware. I could run it on my laptop with on-board Intel GPU, but it would look like crap and lag.
We do get our share of AAA titles, just not as many as on Windows. As it is, there are more appealing titles than I can ever play without cutting into work, chores, or (non-gaming) leisure time.
Most indie games benefit as well though; even though these do tend to work on less well-endowed GPU's, they simply look better with a heftier graphics card. I've got a desktop computer with beefy GPU exactly because I enjoy gaming; and it runs Linux, exclusively.
- SmellyGeekBoy 9y agoI'm in the same boat. The last AAA titles I played on Linux were Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Alien Isolation - high end, graphics intensive games. I've been meaning to get around to Hitman - I downloaded the demo a few weeks back and it seems to run fine but not had time to get started with it properly. I also enjoyed Thimbleweed Park and I see the (excellent, btw) Wonderboy remake was released for Linux this week. Us Linux gamers are incredibly well catered for these days! (Ubuntu // i5 2500K // GTX 970 with Intel proprietary drivers, FWIW)
