Nobara OS, Arch Linux and Pop!_OS beat Windows 11 by a slim margin in fps (delta 8) in Windows native games - Cyberpunk 2077, Forspoken, Starfield and The Talos Principle II. Windows 11 wins in Rachet & Clank.

ComputerBase's testing was done on an all-AMD test rig, featuring a Ryzen 7 5800X (non-3D) and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.

Update: Windows 11 wins in one game.

Ok, but what about Nvidia GPUs? Those are what the the vast majority of gamers use.

Does it really matter? The majority buy Nvidia due to mindshare, the same probably goes for why they use Windows.

Nvidia has been so far ahead of AMD cards for so long, and running AI stuff on them is a much better experience as well.

I love AMD and wished it weren't so, but buying an AMD video card can only be justified by price or Linux compatibility.

Yeah I have been having so much trouble running AI stuff on my Rx 6700 XT that I use my media computer with a RTX 2060 to do most of my experimenting with though the VRAM is really limiting.
