That’s been my experience on a 3070 as well. Especially in games that are just meeting whatever Steam considers the most basic ‘playable’ level for Steam Deck certification. Those that score higher may have a slightly smaller performance gap.

Minecraft and Starsector, on the other hand, freaking love Linux. They’re dramatically faster.

Vanilla Minecraft, maybe, but vanilla Minecraft can run on two potatoes and a rusty spoon.

Running with shaders, there’s a noticeable performance hit on Linux - I drop 20-30 FPS in Mint with the latest Nvidia drivers. Going from ~80 FPS to ~50 is noticeable.

In vanilla Minecraft, going from 300 FPS to 350 FPS is kinda moot.

But with our new system we can make up 10x as many fake frames to cram between your real ones, giving you 2500 FPS! Isn’t that awesome???
