NVIDIA RTX 30 Series vs. AMD Radeon Linux Gaming Performance For April 2021

F1 2020 is another game on Linux that can be enjoyed thanks to Valve's Steam Play. NVIDIA had the upper-hand against the Radeon graphics cards on Linux for this game - the RX 6800 XT here was running behind the RTX 3080 while the RX 6800 was coming in shy of the RTX 3070 and then the RX 6700 XT below the RTX 3060 Ti. At least all of the RDNA2 and RTX 30 series graphics cards could deliver a playable 4K frame-rate for this racing game.

When it came to HITMAN 2, which was running on Linux via Steam Play, the RADV performance returned to its more competitive side with the RX 6800 XT nearly matching the RTX 3090 at 144p.

If wanting to enjoy HITMAN 2 running emulated under Linux with 4K ultra settings, the GeForce RTX 3070 would likely be your minimum viable option.
