Interesting. My background is quite different. Windows has often been unreliable. I keep encountering WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERRORS that I haven’t managed to resolve yet, but when I start Ubuntu 19.04 the system feels much more stable than it has in years. Computers are so unpredictable.
I don't remember the specific FPS settings you used. My recollection was about running Windows 10 and Ubuntu 1804 at 4.5GHz and 1.25V, achieving consistent performance. Based on that, if 4.5GHz on Linux aligns with 4.8GHz in Windows, it seems logical to expect around 5.1 or 5.2GHz on Windows for a similar setup. This would support stable overclocks, as I can sustain 5.0GHz with full stability, and higher speeds beyond that without prior experience. However, I found this approach quite tedious.
the question that will never be answered. probably the 1060 bottlenecking... depends on the game of course.. in terms of performance yes, but that's just because of a better scheduler and more efficient drivers and kernel on linux over windows. there is no different to clockspeed. it depends how often you wanna switch... you can also do something completely insane and setup a VFIO virtual machine for lolz and run Windows that way. that should run well on that cpu.
In reality, specifically using BOINC Linux at 4.5GHz performs better than Windows at 5.5GHz or even 6GHz. The contrast was significant. Running BOINC on Windows felt like a waste of time, especially if you frequently changed applications across different systems.
I don’t see any reason to argue with you. Some aspects might work better on one side than the other. Also, you ran it on Linux during the Pentathlon—great choice for top performance. Did you know what position we secured? I’ve been focusing on that without the overclocking. I’m looking for Linux alternatives for the Windows apps I currently use.
I think we reached the 12th position? Probably around the top 15 or even the top 10 as 9th place. It’s hard to remember exactly. I’m happy I chose Linux; the performance and efficiency were worth it. Of course, I struggled to switch from Windows 10 on my PC, but since my laptop work doesn’t depend on Windows executables, I’ve gotten fairly comfortable with Manjaro so far.
Whispers never came up with it. I’ll need to dig deeper. The top 10 by a hair’s breadth. That’s 10th place out of 29 teams. Next year we’ll just push harder. We’ll go bunker mode again—no new tricks. It’s time to leverage containerization and virtualization. Laughs. Most of my daily apps run smoothly on Linux, whether on desktop or laptop. I’m used to Debian distributions; my laptop runs Ubuntu 16.04 (it can’t handle 18.04) and my desktop is 19.04. Only a few programs I rely on need Windows versions, but Wine doesn’t play nice with them.
