I’ve been gaming almost exclusively in Linux since roughly start of COVID. It’s come a long way. I am this close to VR on Fedora, but it’s still not quite working.
For me, the most noticeable gain was in Monster Hunter World, but it was what I ran the tests on. I also played a lot of Earth Defense Force 5 and Genshin Impact.
GI was always finnicky to get running. MHW did take longer to launch, and the new Monster Hunter Wild takes obnoxiously long to launch on first run after an update.
Interesting!
Theoretically, that (Nvidia graphics + IGP display out) is the worst case scenario for Linux.
I used to get worse performance on my 3090, but it’s been awhile. I will have to try again.

Out of curiosity, what games do you see any gains in, and at approximately what settings?
And if I come across as skeptical, that’s not my intent at all. I’m interested!

That’s particularly interesting.
MH is notorious for being unoptimized, right? Maybe DXVK and the sane linux scheduling is working wonders there.
I use DXVK in Windows, on rare occasions, and the gains can be pretty dramatic in (for instance) janky DX9 games.
