Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11

The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more frames compared to Windows 11.

The hardware used for testing included an Asrock B550 motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU from the first RDNA generation, along with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. The CPU, RAM, and GPU were overclocked, and the system utilized undervolting to save energy costs.

When testing the game at 1080p resolution with high textures, the Linux system achieved an average of 63.72 frames per second (fps), while Windows 11 managed only 48.55 fps. This suggests that the game should run noticeably smoother on the Linux system.

    Were you using the same distro?

    I had very similar results with pop os and windows 10 on an Nvidia card

    Not suprising. Linux is usually faster, that is whe backend of every internet service uses Linux.

    30% is extremely surprising. I'd expect single digit percent gains, if any, on Linux. This 30% difference was in the opposite direction 10 years ago, when Windows had access to low-level graphics APIs and Linux was only on OpenGL. I wouldn't expect there to be 30% worth of frames per second to be tied to Windows bloat.

    sugar_in_your_tea ,

    Exactly. And usually there’s a 5-10% performance penalty on Linux because of WINE overhead when running Windows games on Linux, but sometimes Linux makes up for it in other ways (maybe the scheduler) and can get 5-10% faster.

    Honestly, on Proton, performance differences between the two operating systems are a dice roll in either direction, but still single digit percentages like you said.

    30% means either Windows is doing something dumb, or the game is doing something dumb and the compatibility layers are mitigating the issue on Linux.

    Exactly. Some people here seem to be completely detached from reality if they honestly think that this isn’t just some weird bug and these tests being an indicator of one OS being better than the other.

    Sure there are some aspects where one OS’s philosophy has some performance gains over the other when doing very specific tasks, mostly when it comes to file access or creating processes. A 30% difference is just way too much, particularly for a game, where those differences shouldn’t matter as much.

    Like how Elden Ring ran better on Linux at the start because Wine could patch in cache precompilation which normally the game devs would need to do themselves

    Now can you make it stop defaulting to controller keybindings on Linux?

    echo ‘2C45C6: EB’ | xxd -r - Cyberpunk2077.exe

    In the x64 bin folder

    Source, and what is this command supposed to do? We shouldn’t blindly copypaste shell commands from online.

    The Steam community thread about this issue and I can vouch it does fix it.

    Thank you!

    This bug was fixed in a patch when phantom liberty launched? I haven’t seen it since that patch anyway.

    thefartographer ,

    Shut up and look at the more frames. - article author mumbling - God damn ingrates always complaining just because things don’t work right… 30% more frames is practically 10% less controller!

    I couldn't get the link to work--I get a server error--but I was able to look at the video on YouTube, so this might be useful to others with the same issue:

    Edit: I did get the link to work one out of five times. I guess the site is just congested? I don't know. But anyway, there's a link to the YouTube video directly anyway.

    Thanks Stadia. No wonder it performed so well.

    Hey that’s a similar setup to mine, except I have 6700XT, on ultra settings, worst case scenario I get ~60FPS, on average it’s 80

    cyanarchy ,

    I haven’t tried the new update but this gives me high hopes for what my 6800 can chew through.
