Are we certain that the drivers fully support every feature of the game in Linux? Is this known to be due to better more efficient running and implementations or if certain graphics or physics options are simply not functional in Linux?
Max Payne runs in Linux and did not run on the same hardware on Windows, year of Linux confirmed.
Varies between games, it's common there's features missing so it's not equivalent but often Linux has remained faster when equivalent because its implementation is more efficient. Unless you're dealing with ray tracing and other recent fancy stuff.
Ray tracing works fine in Ubuntu on my RTX 4080. DLSS too. Might be slower than Windows but I haven't compared it.
