I tested with Heaven 2.1, maybe that could explain the difference. I’ll try with Heaven 3.0 as you did.

On my plain GTX460/700/3600, tested with the same settings for Heaven 3.0:
-1920×1080 fullscreen
-no AA
-16x aniso.
-shaders: high
-tess: extreme
-Linux 310.14 / Windows 310.33 & 306.97

Linux: 23.4 / 589 / 12.1 / 59.3
WOGL: 23.4 / 588 / 11.9 / 61.2
WDX11: 24.6 / 619 / 12.5 / 66.6

That’s just ~5% difference…

Either you forgot to disable VSync (as it’s enabled by default on Linux) or there is something else at fault, like your DE/WM compositor, etc.

I just tested with the following settings:

– 1920×1080 fullscreen
– no AA
– 16x aniso.
– shaders: high

– Tessellation: extreme
Windows: 50.7 FPS, Scores: 1278
Linux: 36.3 FPS, Scores: 915

– Tessellation: normal
Windows: 65.9 FPS, Scores: 1660
Linux: 49.3 FPS, Scores: 1243…

wtf?

Thanks Licaon_Kter, I’ll do again the Heaven benchmark without AA. It’s time I release my new tests under linux and win….

Unigine Heaven has a lower score under Linux ONLY when using AA, it’s a known thing and they did not bother to fix it, so yeah, comparisons are useless, try without AA, with Tess: Extreme and they’re on the same level.
