Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds

I mean, the best comparison would be to simply install Linux on the Xbox Ally X and run benchmarks against one with the stock OS.

the Xbox team hopefully didn't get limited too much by the Windows team, and can do whatever it takes to debloat the game mode.

the game mode should literally only run the bare minimum that's necessary for the system to function correctly

The game mode is what makes it interesting.
 
I don't think I'm color blind...

Orange would be the thread title and the buttons on the top-ish-right. The top bar of this graph looks like a light-ish red, and the bar two below that looks slightly darker. Can someone else chime in and let me know if I'm color blind and never knew it?
I'm colorblind and it looks like orange, green, red from top to bottom.
@March Climber, @Closer, and Topher Topher :

I just took an online Ishihara test, and I got 100%. I then took the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Color Blind test, and I got 100%. I then took the Lanthony D-15 (both Saturated and Desaturated), and I got 100% on both of those. Maybe all of your eyes are broken and mine are normal? :messenger_grinning_sweat:

In case anyone wants to try this out (they're quick), here you go:

lol…
 
Obviously. Windows and linux don't and can't use the same drivers. They have drivers written specifically for them, so how exactly do you propose they do a "scientific comparison".

So if the issue is possibly Lenovo's drivers for Windows, why are you waffling on about 'Windows bloat and overhead' being the cause?

Main takeaway here is those Lenvo drivers are terrible lol

I like how it's claimed only BL3 had comparable performance when if you remove the terrible drivers from the equation all but Returnal and Doom were within the same range as BL3 was.

SteamOS is great and all though.

Certainly.

and they say the next Xbox will run windows lol, it will DOA if that happens.

One would like to believe MS would not shit up the drivers situation for their own device, but stranger things have happened.
 
Whichever moron was in charge of color-coding the graphs and decided to pick two slightly different shades of red needs to be punched in the face.
As funny as the argument over colourblindness is, the fact is there's a whole rainbow to choose from and they chose two colours next to each other rather than, say, a nice blue for easy contrast.

I also think a slightly larger separation between each graph wouldn't go amiss, either.
 
EGADS! On my phone it is orange!

I was seeing the same with you and check my C2 settings. I love saturated colors so in the past I increased TV's "Game Color Depth" settings. When I lowered the settings the upper "red" turned into "orange".

But I agree nonetheless: Why anyone sane use close colors when doing comparison is beyond me.
