Enthusiasts conducted an interesting benchmarking the popular strategy game Civilization VI on the Linux operating system. A player decided to compare the performance of the native port, which runs on the old OpenGL API, with the launch Windows-versions through the layer Proton<\/strong>, using a translator DXVK extension<\/strong>Testing was conducted on the latest Pop!_OS 24.04 distribution using a powerful computer equipped with a Ryzen 9 5900X processor, 32 gigabytes of RAM, and a modern graphics card. RTX 5070 Ti<\/strong>All measurements were taken in resolution 1080p<\/strong> at maximum graphics settings without limiting the frame rate.<\/p>\n

The results of the experiment were quite revealing and surprised many users. Launched via a translator on Wednesday Vulkan<\/strong> demonstrated overwhelming superiority over the native Linux version. Using Valve’s layer provided significantly improved CPU utilization, smooth frame rate performance, and multiple increase<\/strong> general FPS<\/strong> in certain scenarios. This benchmark clearly shows how outdated it is. OpenGL<\/strong> limits performance compared to modern command translation methods.<\/p>\n

The benchmarking author specifically chose the operating system for his benchmarks. Pop! _OS<\/strong> and a video card from a green corporation. He explained this by the fact that NVIDIA graphics chips take up about 80%<\/strong> gaming market, and this distribution offers the easiest installation of proprietary drivers right out of the box. This approach allows it to be shown to casual gamers Windows A realistic and comfortable path to transitioning to a free OS. The enthusiast plans to repeat the benchmarks after the release of the upcoming update. NVIDIA drivers version 595<\/strong>, which should further improve the performance of games…<\/p>\n
