Windows 10 vs. Ubuntu Radeon Gaming Performance With Linux 4.13 + Mesa 17.2

Xonotic is also now leaning in favor of the Radeon Linux performance for this popular open-source game forked years ago from Nexuiz.

Even as the image quality increased, the Linux performance is still riding ahead of Windows. With Linux 4.13 + Mesa 17.3-dev is still a noticeable performance boost over the current stable stack of Linux 4.12 and Mesa 17.1.

With ultra image quality settings, the latest AMDGPU+RadeonSI numbers are still looking good and ahead of Windows.

But when hitting ultimate image quality settings, the Radeon RX 580 was riding behind Windows 10 by a few frames. The Radeon R9 Fury meanwhile was 15% faster with the latest open-source Linux driver than Radeon Software.
