Linux gaming isn't great.
Linux gaming isn't great.
Hi, I just got the new game (Spec Ops : The Line) on my Linux PC and I'm feeling really upset. Many ports don’t work well, especially on Linux. My GTX 750 should let me run it non-stop at 60 FPS with high settings, but I’ve seen videos showing much lower performance. I understand driver and compatibility problems can help, but getting around 30 FPS on medium settings is disappointing. The same goes for most of the other demanding titles I installed—Alien Isolation, Grid Autosport, Witcher 2, and Dirt Showdown. Only the simplest games run smoothly, which is frustrating. All my drivers are current, and even trying to overclock the GPU didn’t make a big difference. Part of me expected this, but as someone who uses Linux regularly, I still hoped to stay away from Windows soon. The truth is tough. Edited August 27, 2016 by Ryan_Vickers
As the forum appears to have misled your message, I've combined them. Please adjust the original poster's wording so it reflects your perspective. I'll remove the second part as a reply and note my past experience playing the same game on both Linux and Windows with similar performance. Updated August 27, 2016 by Ryan_Vickers
I noticed the duplicate entry, but I'm unsure about your request. Could you clarify what you need?
Linux isn't designed for gaming. However, as someone who uses Linux for years, you're aware of this. I also enjoy gaming. If you want to try Windows, you could set up a VM and install it there.
I captured what I thought was your latest version (updated) and refined the duplicates. Feel free to revise again if needed. No further action required; I’ve taken a snapshot of it.
I don't even begin with Linux gaming for you. Starting with Ubuntu 13 or earlier, my PC would freeze into a black screen after installing AMD graphics cards. This issue persists even on a full AMD system, which shouldn't happen.
Take a glance at this resource: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2025909/g...ience.html. Alternatively, as I've discussed before, set up VMWare Workstation or another virtualization tool on your Linux system and add a Windows guest OS. It should function properly.
