Shame you have been downvoted. That's a reasonable question no matter where you stand. Motion is important too, not just static screen-shots.

I am 100% team Linux but cross-platform benchmarking is rife with problems. Differences are often from not testing the exactly same thing or different defaults that trade-off safety/quality/perf and can in theory be changed. No point measuring only one side of a triangle whose ratios are a matter of taste.

A responsible benchmark would try and prove fidelity.

<3 and, sharing internet +1 coinage to you too.

(this is Hacker News after all, seems like a reasonable question to me too)

I had not thought about Motion...good one.

Agreed regarding a responsible benchmark.

All that exploration could help illuminate (ha) the path to a user-first "Desired frames per second" Graphical Setting in game set-ups. "I just want 60 / 120 / don't-care 30 is okay". With nVidia going bonkers with new AI interpolation features the users may want a "minimum 60 please".

It's a soft feature that Consoles have, IMO, though with variable rate refresh panels I feel it's less of a draw.

Does Linux have workable VRR support?
