Well, that was quite useless and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it.
1. What you really care about is consistently having a framerate of more than 60 fps. A higher fps count can actually be worse.
2. Relatively few linux users have a gtx 680. It's a 500$ graphics card and there just aren't that many linux applications who needs it.
3. If this down-scales linearly, which it might not, we are looking at around 3 fps difference at 60 fps.
- bryanlarsen 14y ago270.6 to 315 fps is a 14 per cent speedup, or 8.5 fps at 60 fps. That's pretty big. But that's only if it scales linearly. I suspect most of the speed-ups are per-frame, in which case we have a 500 microsecond speed-up, which is just over 2 fps at 60fps.
- greg_bt 14y agoRelatively few linux users might have a gtx 680 but there are a large amount of windows gamers that have a card similar and may switch to linux if it had steam. Given that 60fps is all that's required it also means that you don't need a gtx 680, a $200 card will probably easily get you 60fps, a lot of the nvidia laptop cards will also probably be enough.
