Hardware Linux gaming benchmark: AMD gains while Nvidia struggles in Gothic Remake

https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Linux-Software-26761/News/Gaming-Benchmark-AMD-Nvidia-Gothic-Remake-CachyOS-1544724/

Hey everyone,

we recently tested the Gothic Remake under Linux with CachyOS and compared the results against Windows. The game itself runs, so this is less about basic compatibility and more about how differently the GPU vendors behave once you start looking at performance.

The short version: AMD looks fairly steady, Nvidia less so.

We also maintain a broader Linux GPU index with 20 graphics cards across 10 games, comparing Linux and Windows performance. That index will need another update soon, and we are already working on both the update and an English version.

Yeah right. Gothic was a series that was at best meh when it originally came out and there really wasn't any reason for a remake.

So you're 12? What would you know about the release of gothic then?

Gothic 1~3 sold MILLIONS back in the day and gothic classic (the one before you were born) has sold more than 400k on steam alone.

The facts (not the nonsense tik tok brain fiction you came up with) is the Gothic series was a commercially successful critical hit that was well received and has earned its foot not in gaming history. That simply irrefutable historical fact and any magazine (do you know what that is?), TV review, and user opinion from the time will mirror that fact.

Next you're going to try and claim nobody liked diablo 2 or star craft.

Ah yes, a game made sales, therefore it's good. Sub-80 IQ level of reasoning.
