NOTES TO VIEWERS - Let viewers know the following:
- Video card is the Zotac 4090 AMP Extreme AERO (A card that is considered "less" than MSI, Asus & Gigabyte).
- RAM is GSkill DDR5 running at 4200 MHz (Almost all comparisons or maybe all of them had 6000 MHz or more RAM). Before it was running at 6000 MHz until the 18xx firmware came out and basically it is almost impossible to overclock or enable XMP on it.
- CPU is not overclocked. Having a 13900K is enough overclocking for one lifetime. No need to overcook..overclock it. Meaning, in very few recordings, the game was at 5.5 GHz (9 of them), while in most it was at 3 GHz because I do not like to cook my ware. I love doing benchmarks and showing the performance of Linux, in this case Ubuntu versus Windows, but not by cooking the same hardware I use to work and pay the bills.
- Asus motherboard is the Z790 Hero with Firmware between 2202 (March/June) & 2402 (July).
- Storage is a WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB.
- The Screen capture software is GPU Screen Recorder (Flatpak), which as seen here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tX403Yy20H5nILDB7mGC37pNHwqJVwk_GrM-2w1g_0U has an average FPS penalty of 2.73% or 3.39 FPS less than what the original game would offer.

NOTES LEARNED:
- GAMES WITH EQUAL OR BETTER PERFORMANCE: 16 / 29 (55%) WAS EXPECTING 1-2 (Less than 10%) COMPARED TO 2022 WHICH WAS NONE
- I TRIED TO AVOID DLSS BEING USED ON VIDEOS USED TO COMPARE. THIS WAY THE RAW POWER BETWEEN WINDOWS VS LINUX COULD BE BETTER COMPARED.
Extra - Games that had around ~10 FPS or less difference was mostly gained by hardware overclocking, better CPU / RAM / CLOCK speeds. Based on that, 4 games would qualify, meaning, on the same hardware, 20 games or 69% would have similar or better performance on Ubuntu.
