I did a port report, review and video here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articl...available.8368

It does not have a benchmark mode.

These are non Linux keys, so won't count as Linux sales and won't give any money to the porter (Feral).

with only listing NVIDIA hardware under Linux and the minimum being a GTX 660 while the recommendation is at least a GTX 970.

Strictly speaking it recommends "4GB 970 or better". We make quite a bit of hardware that is better

... but your Linux HW is less programmable if the goal is to achieve a performance goal.

Less programmable? I think you meant to say something else.

Buying from 3rd party key vendors hurts Linux Game Development. Sometimes the keys are stolen or given out as review copies to fake reviewers, if you care about bringing more games to Linux spend the extra bucks and but it from one of the main vendors - Ferrel, Steam, Gog or GreenManGaming or whoever.

I didn't realise that, I thought they were both legit games sites

They may be legit (I don't know about this one in particular), but that doesn't mean they properly register whether a sale was for Linux. Since Feral has confirmed that they only get paid for sales that are explicitly attributed to Linux and macOS, buying from a site that doesn't make this distinction hurts Linux development. Feral has said on reddit that most key stores do not register OS. Only Humble Bundle was confirmed to register the OS of the sale properly.
