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.
I can definitely add it to steam as a non steam game but which drop-down? Would be awesome if this worked, thank you!
Oh and I played it exactly how I’m playing it now but not on steam, heck idk I just have a cyberpunk icon I click to open it on win11, I don’t open it with steam or anything but will try for the dropdown
In the games properties under compatibility first you click a check box that says “force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool” and then in the drop down below that select proton experimental
It occurs to me that if you aren’t installing it through steam it might be slightly more effort becouse you can’t use a windows installer without something to run the .exe, steam should work for that too, but so would something like bottles or Lutris
Not sure we’re on the same page, I have installed it and it runs, just not as smoothly as it did before.
But you’re talking about something having to run in the background to emulate steam since I’ve installed from elsewhere, correct?
How could I use bottles or lutris?
I wasn’t sure how you were installing it, if you were using something like a gog installer lutris for example could handle the installation for you, but sense you have it installed that’s irrelevant
steam runs natively on linux though so no you wouldn’t have to emulate it or anything
Without knowing more I’m not sure about the prefomance though, and I’m not an expert, but if you are dual booting it might have something to do with the file system you are using, I’ve not messed with dual booting before so I can’t be sure, and I wouldn’t know how to fix it either
