Ubuntu 15.04 VS Windows 10 Pro : Company Of Heroes 2 Benchmark on a GTX 680
113This video's focus for the benchmark and review are solely on the performance of Nvidia's driver with the native versions of Company of Heroes 2 on Ubuntu and Windows.
I am using the latest NVIDIA drivers.
Windows 10 Pro with 355.60
Ubuntu 15.04 with 355.06

3. Summary 3:22
The graphical settings options are identical on the Windows version and the Linux version, so each test was reproducible on each system exactly.
On Ubuntu, Nvidia is set to Performance and the CPU governor is also set to Performance. For Windows, it is set to High Performance.
Minimum settings here means everything that can be turned OFF or set to LOW was set to OFF or LOW.
Maximum settings means cranking everything ON and to the Highest setting possible, with the exception of V-Sync which was kept off.
My verdict: Feral have upped their game, this port runs a lot closer to the native Windows performance compared to their Shadow of Mordor port! This said, AMD users are left out right now so only Nvidia and Intel users are supported.
If you're a fan of Relic RTSs, or just RTSs in general, this is worth a purchase. I seriously love the mechanics of Relic RTSs, as DOW2 is still my all-time favourite RTS to play! Thus, COH2 is a great buy.
I may have made mistakes, and if I have done so, please forgive me and correct me in the comments. I've tried to do this benchmark and review to the best of my knowledge and capabilities.
