This video's focus for the benchmark and review are solely on the performance of Nvidia's driver with the native versions of Shadow Of Mordor on Ubuntu and Windows.

I am using the latest NVIDIA drivers.
Windows 10 Pro with 353.62
Ubuntu 15.04 with 352.30

Timeline:
1. Intro 0:00
2. Benchmark Results 0:46
3. Side-by-side comparison 2:00
3. Summary 2:50

I used the presets for the game, both the Lowest and Ultra settings are exactly the same on both platforms except for the Order Independent Transparency option.

My verdict: Feral Interactive have done a good job on the Linux port of Shadow Of Mordor. It feels and plays smoothly, but realistically it is not yet at the performance level of the Windows version. AMD and Intel users are left out this time, but not due to any fault of Feral. If you haven't got the game already, it's worth the money!

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.
