At 1440p native resolution with FXAA and TAA enabled, both operating systems deliver identical average frame rates of 52 FPS. However, Windows 11 records slightly stronger 1% lows at 44 FPS compared to 40 FPS on Linux CachyOS. This suggests marginally better frame consistency on Windows under native rendering at this resolution. VRAM usage remains somewhat higher on Linux at 8.0 GB versus 7.5 GB on Windows.
Switching to 1440p with FSR 3.1.5 set to Quality mode improves performance on both platforms. Windows posts 68 FPS on average with 54 FPS 1% lows, while Linux reaches 72 FPS average and 53 FPS 1% lows. Linux holds a small lead in average performance, though low frame results are nearly identical. VRAM allocation again trends slightly higher on Linux.
With FSR 3.1.5 Quality and Frame Generation enabled at 1440p, the performance uplift becomes more pronounced. Windows achieves 101 FPS average with 84 FPS 1% lows. Linux increases to 107 FPS average with 83 FPS 1% lows. Average performance favors Linux by a noticeable margin, while 1% lows remain effectively comparable between the two platforms.
At 1440p native, both Windows 11 and Linux CachyOS average 52 FPS, though Windows again maintains slightly stronger 1% lows at 44 FPS compared to 40 FPS on Linux.
With FSR 3.1.5 Quality enabled, Linux moves ahead at 72 FPS compared to 68 FPS on Windows. Adding Frame Generation increases Windows to 101 FPS average and Linux to 107 FPS, with 1% lows staying closely matched on both platforms.
