Linux gamers should choose GeeForce. The tests showed what the alignment of forces is now
Modern video cards (and not only) are almost always compared in Windows, which is logical. But, if suddenly someone needs Linux, but wants to play, the choice of a 3D card should be approached a little differently. As recent tests have shown, in this case, Nvidia reigns supreme.
The Phoronix resource has tested many modern video cards from different segments in Linux in several actual games. The results are different from what we are used to seeing when using Windows.
As you can see, GeForce graphics cards will be the preferred choice for Linux gamers. For example, the GeForce RTX 3060 usually outperforms the Radeon RX 6600 XT, although the latter is faster when using Windows. There is an exception in the form of Hitman 3, where the balance of power is generally similar to what we see in Windows. Also, some Nvidia cards show strange results in F1.
The Intel Arc A770 adapter, where he participated, proved to be a complete failure, but Intel initially warned that DirectX 12 was needed for the normal operation of its new products.
Thus, AMD and Intel still have a lot of work to do to make their cards more competitive on Linux. Given the release of Steam Deck and the breakthrough in the development of Linux as a gaming system, this can be very relevant.

Microsoft has published a report on the results of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
The company’s revenue rose 2% to $52.7 billion, while net income fell 12% to $16.4 billion.
This is far from Microsoft’s best quarter. These results are due to several reasons. First, there is a decline in revenue from manufacturers of laptops with Windows and PC sales in the market as a whole. Secondly, sales of Microsoft devices sank by a considerable 39%.
Also not the best way to feel in the last quarter and the gaming division of the company. In general, the Xbox division was marked by a decrease in revenue. Game sales fell by 13%, hardware sales fell by the same amount, that is, primarily consoles, and revenue from services and services decreased by 12%.
At the same time, Microsoft notes the further growth of the Game Pass service, but, as always, does not name the number of users and revenue.
Opera Software has announced a fresh update for the branded game browser Opera GX. The popular short video service TikTok has been integrated into the sidebar of the browser.
As planned by the developers, this will simplify the search for content. The company explained:
