Hard to say without any info. Are you using the same hardware? Same settings?

But you can see in the settings that I'm using upscaling and it's also added in the chart, on the chart title. The reason that I did this for RT is without upscaling some games will have really low FPS, especially on the 7900 XTX. Also, as it can be seen using upscaling in some newer games you can enable RT and have better performance than on Native and RT OFF. The biggest issue is that modern games are built with upscaling in mind, which is a pity as I believe that Native still produces the best image quality if the TAA implementation is done right

Unfortunately for frame generation to deliver a good experience you need the game to run above 60fps, and don't have multiple dips below that. I think that framegen is not a solution to increase performance when it's low :(

In Balck Myth Wukong?

@@casuallygamin9 yes in that game, i have a Gameplay on my channel, but i didnt use MSI afterburner, but o can make another video to prove you.

I belive you as there are areas where I was getting above 60FPS

Also, I would recommend to restart after you apply graphics settings. And when you reopen, make sure that you check yo see if the correct settings are applied.

@@casuallygamin9 the video you Will see i just dont Change nothing because i play like that, 1440p, 100% resolution scale and cinematic Settings with RT off. I play a round 90fps most the time.

I did a follow-up to this video by using a 4080 Super

@@casuallygamin9 Cool, will take a look. 👍

I will try to speak a bit further away from the mic. Maybe that is the cause as I use ATR2100X-USB. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

Let's see, I really hope we get a performance bump at a lower price point.

Yes. By default on AMD GPUs the functionality is enabled as well in BIOS

@@casuallygamin9 Not in my case, Asus rog b550-E and Red Devil 6800xt I had to enable it manually in Bios, almost 3 years ago btw.

I think nowdays this functionality is enabled by default, at least on X670e boards. Either way, this was enabled.

I stated that I tested 2024 games and I think CS2 was released in 2023, but with that said I didn't focus on multiplayer games.

Depends on the market, in some markets the price difference is not there. If you don't play using RT, don't assume the same for others, and that is why I did benchmarks with RT on and off. People can see the performance loss with RT and decided if it's worth it or not.

I totally agree if the is the price range in your country. In most. the price difference is around 150 USD at best and here in Spain there is no price difference

Also more games support DLSS than FRS and has higher quality upscaling and lower power draw.

chasing distros for a few fps of differences ain't worth it

Thanks for the input.

Lots of people play 1080P when playing competitive FPS games. It's still a viable option and should be included in the tests.

I didn't try any dx11 games, so I wouldn't know. I presume that this is a driver issue, and it should be sorted out with newer drivers

Appreciate the reply, thank you.@@casuallygamin9

I was using wayland. I test with the latest Proton/Wine versions available. In my latest AMD relatesd video I didn't see this issue happening, so with the latest updates it looks good and feels good

@@casuallygamin9 Great to hear that. While nobara is great, I've experienced a fair number of issues, especially with frame time consistency with my 7900XTX (6900XT ran fine), though as I said, not to the same extend as portrait in this video. Must be some kind of weirdness inherited from fedora. I recommend maybe giving opensuse tumbleweed a try, since it uses app armor instead of SELinux, if you havent already, also its a great rolling release. Either way, keep up the good work. If you're not doing so already (first video I've seen), I suggest adding 1% lows and 0.1% lows into your graphs, since they show how how much the frametime graph varies. I recommend taking a look at gamers nexus on the subject.

In mu latest video I started to add 1% lows and 0.1% lows, I will do the same for the upcoming ones.

Yes, I think that at 4k FSR set to quality looks ok, but it isn't better then DLSS

​@@casuallygamin9 Even at 4k I see a huge difference in image quality. The inferiority of FSR (even in version 3.1) is still quite large compared to DLSS. On surfaces like water we see the difficulty in dealing with transparency. In moving objects like leaves we see a lot of ghosting and artifacts. The experience with XTX's IQ on Wukong made me return to Nvidia.

Yeah, FSR in Wukonk looks really bad

just use intel's altanative, it's better than fsr..

@@NulJern xess is not a viable option in all games. Alan Wake doesn't have it and in Wukong it's not possible to use xess+fg

Yea it seems that in newer games it does a bit better, at least until the developers release a patch with performance optimization for AMD cards.

Love my 4080 super also in some games ray tracing makes 7900 xtx unplayable at 4k 19 fps wukong XD

True

All ray traceing are bad on there cards(AMD) it is and Nvidia thing and it will never be a stander on the market and i would say 4k gameing is better then rtx since the eye cannot really see the dif on a note i am a Nvidia fan but they give the 4080 super too few gb ram on cards witch is why i would anyday take the amd 7900xtx over 4080 super onless u have the cash to buy a gfx card each year

it works on the 7900 XTX with no issue, someone said that there is a way to make it work, if you really need it, check the comment section. Until now, I haven't tried to be honest

When it comes to power consumption it seems that the GPU was consuming less on Linux than on Windows, but this was patched with the latest kernal update. It's a bit strange though as I have a power meter socket and I never checked it property, but I saw a 15w difference in power consumption between Windows and Linux. I never investigated property though as I don't have a tool to measure the power consumption directly on the GPU. I know that there is an area where performance drops to around 40 FPS when using RT on the 7900 XTX, it was in a forest with a lot of frogs, but I don't know how to go back to that area :). I think it doesn't matter the area, as I believe that the GPU will behave the same.

@@casuallygamin9 Yea, I expect linux to use less power especially on the CPU side because it doesn't have the spyware nonsense windows does. While GPUs may also use less power, mangohud was buggesd.

I think that Wayland now works ok. Especially on AMD cards. I didn't try X11 as by default Fedora/ Nobara comes with Wayland. Also, I read that Wayland should perform a little better due to how it was build, have a bit lower latency and a few more performance improvements over X11.

@@casuallygamin9 you can switch compositor session through nobara user login page. Thr button is on the below right/left corner.

You need to plug the fans the tgb cables into the motherboard as it doesn't come with a controlor

Well, there is a performance difference that is bigger on Nvidia cards than on AMD

??

@@casuallygamin9 w?

GOverlay for linux and MSI afterburner. I configured GOverlay to be able to capture stats for up to 2 min

As for the settings, it depends what you want to see. I wat to see the GPU core speed, memory utilizarion, gpu temps. You need to set what is important to you.

@@casuallygamin9 Reason I was asking is, if the capturing interval is not the same for both Windows and Linux, then the stats will not be correct, as RTSS/Afterburner will by default capture at a bigger interval, affecting the averages

You mean hiw fast it reads the stats. I made sure that is the same on bith OSs

@@casuallygamin9 What are those settings if I may ask?

I totally agree that more VRAM is better. The issue is that Nvidia is releasing GPUs with low VRAM capacity, as the 5070 is rumored to have 12gb. I think that the gaming industry is moving forward with upscaling and this helps a bit with relaxing the memory needs. But high quality texture require more VRAM, so only GPU vendors can help with this. Hopefully Intel and Amd will release competitive products soon.

The issue is when people can fix vram hog by adjusting to optimal settings without losing quality. People complain about vram capacity since they tend to set the settings' bar high all the time. nonetheless, NVIDIA are providing the utmost minimum for their product which is why I'm switching to AMD.

​@@ThePhenoix504FI3D1I agree. What I meant to say is that high texture costs less performance than VRAM. We need more VRAM so that new games don't look the same as 5 years ago. Have a look at Control and the last Tomb Raider. Those 2 games still look good. The only way to surpass those is better quality texture. I moded Cyberpunk 2077 with higher quality texters, and the visuals have improved

Why do you say these are fake results. Do you expect that having more L3 cache wins in every game? This is not the case. Some games benefit from high speed clocks. This is why the 14900k with it's single core 6000+mhz enjoys wins in sime games. And the 9700x with is single core 5500+ mhz will get some wins. Sure if I use 1080p, high settings probably the 7800x3D CPU will have more wins

It runs smoother on AMD cards. The curent Nvidia drivers seem to be a bit buggy when anything else except Steam. But I do agree, linx is improving.

Yes, I updated everything to the latest version. As dor to optimize I'm not reaysure what you mean

@@casuallygamin9 Optimizing, well there are steps about optimizing Linux in the Internet. Oh and please use Arch Linux it is the most updated and the best for gaming.

@@casuallygamin9 move to Arch Linux it is way better. Try using Garuda Linux Dragonized Gaming it got Zen Kernel and it's most optimized for gaming

Golrious Eggroll the creator of Nobara Linux maximized the performance of Linux for gaming - so yes.

In my latest video I fixed this issue. Sorry for that

Yep l, rhat is a decent combor for 1440p

Msi afterburner and GOverlay averages, 1%lows and 0.1%lows and this way will be easier to conpare to other reviews out there.

Check my previous video where I check the performace difference using the 7900 XTX. I mention as well in the video that AMD fairs better then Nvidia.

radeon fanboy lol

​@@pipiapi3855... I will waste my 5 min of life on you: 1. I'm a Sr. software engineer. 2. I had 18 years of Experience using Linux. 3. Nvidia Privative Drivers on Linux are not the best vs their windows version. Thats why if you chose to use LInux as an OS I recomend to use AMD GPUs,, but if you want to waste your money on a Nvidia GPU and lose 20% performance on Linux Go ahead. SHAME ON YOU.

@@GamerEnLinux The author of this channel has a video in which Windows is better than Linux using an rx 7900xtx, if you are a blind red-eyed Linux fanboy, then your problem

@@pipiapi3855 yes champ he told me... Thanks for telling me something I already knew by him

I played games using Proton-GE, and never had an issue. But, to be honest, the performance difference is small, I found it to be just a few FPS (2-3FPS on average), so if for you Proton works best, stick with it.

@@casuallygamin9 Yeah, i thought just because the Star Wars Outlaws thing not starting, such Problems come from ProtonGE. Because they are based on Proton Experimental. Maybe you could try Star Wars with Proton 9.0.3 Official.

I tried everything. Proton, Wine and Proton-GE, and no luck. Does it work on your side?

@@casuallygamin9 There is a Tutorial on yt "Star Wars Outlaws unter Linux" Im pretty sure its a Ubisoft Connect Problem 🤷🏻‍♀️ But he uses Arch+ ProtonGE "Latest" in Lutris on Epic Store. I was just guessing because i had often Problems with NonStandard Proton. I dont have the game but interested in Performance Tests of the newest games on Linux 😅 Thanks alot for your Work. If your Audience is interested you could test Avatar Frontiers of Pandora from Time tonTime. Also very heavy RT game.

@@casuallygamin9 There is a Tutorial yt -- Star Wars Outlaws unter Linux -- . He got it up and running. I think its a Problem with ubi in general .
