Back2Gaming plays Half Life 2 on Linux using RX 480 8GB - intro
Without video recording, Half Life 2 runs smoothly at 2560 x 1080 resolution with maximum detail using a Radeon RX 480 8GB. The random stuttering you may notice in the video is caused by the combination of 60-FPS recording frame rate and 200+ FPS in-game frame rate.
Open Broadcaster Software (a.k.a OBS) was used to record the game play. The output may not be as good as that of NVIDIA Shadow Play but it's decent enough to show our followers and fans that Linux really works for gaming.
