Unless you're playing CS competitively and really need 720fps for your 360Hz monitor, is 5-30% fewer frames (all else equal) really a deal breaker? Is this hardware thats barly good enough or something else?

I ask because I feel like I can frequently play games at, say, 150fps, and losing 30% would mean almost nothing to me to switch to Linux. I worry more about general capatibility and anticheat.

5-30% is what a sizable amount of people upgrade their hardware for

looks at ancient desktop rig still doing everything I ask of it

Huh.

I wonder if they're the same people who complain that they don't have enough money to live.

100 fps to 95-70fps is definitely noticeable, 30% is way too much.

I'm not saying it's not noticeable, I'm saying it's not a deal breaker. If my only holdout from switching to Linux from Windows is gaming, I'd take a 30% fps hit, assuming my fps is generally in the ~150 range, not the ~60 range.

If Linux dropped my frames from 80 to 50, it would be a deal breaker.

Fortunately I haven't noticed performance impacts so I'm on the hype train.
