Ok it’s not on by default on Ubuntu, and could worsen the benches, but OSX has this feature on by default (quartz) or am i missing something?Īnd quoting the conclusion “Moving past the graphics benchmarks…” That’s roughly the difference i have here (depending of the game) between Windows and Ubuntu on a 8800GTS.Īlso i’m not sure it’s totally fair to disable compiz. I don’t know which OS would win, but i suppose that on the hardware it’s meant to be run, the differences would be still between 5-15 fps but on a base of 60 to 90 fps. But we certainly can’t say that Urban Terror, thus OpenGL, is 400% faster on OSX than Ubuntu Their conclusions are totally flawed.

Having a 4-12 fps difference on a game that is crawling like hell could be due to a lot of things. Those bench should have been discarded as invalid. It only tells us that you can’t play those games, ie: they don’t work properly on this machine, with either OS. Well the 3d benchmark here doesn’t mean much, doing comparisons with a performance of about 10fps.
