Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update: Phantom Liberty | Linux VS Windows Performance Tested

Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update: Phantom Liberty performance tested across Windows and Nobara OS. Video Timeline: 00:00 - In Game Settings on Windows 11. 00:33 - In Game Settings on Nobara OS. 01:13 - Testing Custom In Game Benchmark using Developer StreamingTest. 02:03 - Benchmark Results on Nobara OS. 02:15 - Benchmark Results on Windows 11. 02:26 - Side by side comparison of in game benchmark results between Nobara OS and Windows 11. 02:37 - Spot testing #1, at the Lizzies. 03:04 - Spot testing #2, what I like to call the burning car benchmark. 03:27 - Side by side comparison of playthrough from the story hook of the expansion, the footage isn’t exactly in sync unfortunately. System Specifications: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (PBO: 200 MHz, -30 on All Cores, Power Limit set to Motherboard) DeepCool AK620 CPU Cooler ASRock B550M Pro4 Kingston Fury Beast 3200 MHz 8GB X 2 Modules Overclocked to 3600 MHz XMP SAPPHIRE AMD RX 5700 XT NITRO (Undervolted to 1120mV, 50 Power Tune) DeepCool 750W PSU Launch arguments on Windows 11: --launcher-skip -skipStartScreen Launch arguments on NobaraOS: WINEDLLOVERRIDES=amd_ags_x64=b radv_zero_vram=false VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr RADV_PERFTEST=emulate_rt mangohud %command% --launcher-skip -skipStartScreen Some of you may have noticed that RayTracing is actually available as an option on Linux. Using “ VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr RADV_PERFTEST=emulate_rt“ helps you enable RayTracing on the RX 5700 XT. However, this video is all about Raster performance comparison, and using these parameters do not alter the results or performance in any way. “WINEDLLOVERRIDES=amd_ags_x64=b“ is used so that you get accurate VRAM usage in MangoHUD and so that the Driver version is properly detected/displayed in the Benchmark results page. “radv_zero_vram=false“ helps to mitigate a frametime spike issue that is the result of a Kernel regression introduced in Kernel version , without this, if your GPU is being heavily taxed in this game, you’re going to come across stutters.
