I went for the most simple benchmark runs I could do in order to achieve a general idea of how much a difference in performance (CPU) there is between Linux and Windows. I tested three games, two of which I play quite often. FFXIV, Baldur's Gate 3, and Cyberpunk 2077. For all three games, I intentionally benchmarked in cities where the CPU is stressed the most and at low resolutions (720p) where my GPU will not be a bottleneck. In order to keep things simple and avoid test to test variance, all I did was hold "W" in order to move from one area of the map to another while passing by a multitude of NPC's. Here are images of the areas I tested:
I want to note two important things:
I'm fairly inexperienced at benchmarking, don't take these results as the end-all be-all.
My system is far from stock - I'm running DDR5 8000 in 1:2 mode for the synced infinity fabric & memory clock. It's also tuned to hold maximum clocks at all times due to being undervolted (5050 MHz)
This was done purely for my own curiosity to see how much performance I'm technically losing by switching to Linux on the games that I specifically play.
GE-Proton 9-13 was used on Linux (Fedora 40, fully up to date)
Linux results will be ON TOP, Windows results will be on BOTTOM
Linux (Cyberpunk 2077)
Windows (Cyberpunk 2077)
Linux (Baldur's Gate 3)
Windows (Baldur's Gate 3) - I had to use Intel PresentMon on Windows, opposed to the Steam overlay.
Linux (FFXIV) -- I double checked the results. FFXIV on Linux does not use Proton, it uses a custom WINE version according to the XIVLauncher developers. This is likely why it performs so much worse.
Windows (FFXIV)
