Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty Runs 31% Faster on AMD GPUs in Linux Compared to Windows 11
tomshardware.com/news/cyberpunk-2077-31-percent-faster-on-amd-in-linux-vs-windows-11
Quick Glance: AMD GPUs in Linux: Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty Runs 31% Faster than Windows 11
- YouTuber Maximum Fury recently tested Cyberpunk 2077's latest 2.0 update in a modified variant of Fedora Linux called Nobara and found the open-source OS to be 31% faster than Windows 11 with the same system hardware.
- With the same settings, the system achieved 48.55 FPS in Windows 11, a 24% performance reduction compared to the Linux-based OS.
- Linux gamers using AMD CPUs and GPUs might see a significant performance advantage over Windows gamers when playing Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0, at least with mid-range hardware.
- It remains to be seen whether similar improvements are available with different hardware configurations and whether performance with ray tracing enabled shows any difference.
