Benchmark on Linux is horrible (16.97 FPS, score 4235)

[Jobko]

3070 + 5600X + 32GB ram on 1440p lowest settings, FSR ultra performance, frame generation on.

GE-Proton9-23, Wayland, Fedora 41, KDE Plasma.

Doesn't run well on 720p either (20-30 fps).

30-60% CPU utilization.

EDIT:

It's a VRAM issue. Anything more than Steam being open, such as opening Discord to talk with friends while I play the game, instantly causes me to lose most of my frame rate. Even in the most optimal situation with nothing open at the lowest settings I am getting only 70 fps. Compare that to Black Myth Wukong 70 fps w/ FSR ultra perf 40-60% at 4k resolution, frame gen, medium to high settings, low effects, w/ a bunch of applications open, and I find no justifiable way to explain this games performance.

I hear that people who dual boot find they get 10-20% more performance on Windows, however that would still not be enough for me to properly enjoy the game with the performance/visuals I am getting. So regardless I will not be picking up this game. Dragon's Dogma 2 ran better on the same engine, and that game had awful CPU problems and was severely unoptimized. I have been able to run every new gen CAPCOM game until now.

EDIT 2:

Tried X11, lost 5 more fps; it's not a Wayland issue. I also tried Proton Experimental, doesn't change anything.

EDIT 3: turning off Steam's in-built recorder allowed me to hit a good VRAM on medium settings 4k - 1440p on DLSS, allowing me to hit acceptable framerates. However these framerates were extremely inconsistent and would go up and down constantly by a margin of 10 fps, so expect if you're hitting 60 fps to randomly drop to 50 or less on a constant basis.

EDIT 4:

I'm sick of discussing this. The game runs on Linux.

The only performance benefits on Windows is not because Windows = pog, it's because Nvidia released drivers that aren't on Linux yet. The 10-20% uplift of these drivers do not mean the game runs good on Windows, because the framerate you get from that is still unacceptable for the visuals present.

Dragon's Dogma 2 got obliterated by reviews for bad performance on all platforms, this game WILL be the same, and is already showing signs.

This isn't a matter of Windows vs. Linux, my original title was assuming it was because of Linux, but if you actually read through the post I discuss WHY this is a VRAM issue. If you can not understand why VRAM is the issue even after reading this post, and still somehow think that magically Windows is giving you 50 more frames than Linux because Windows = pog. you're not capable of reasoning.

You're doing something wrong.

Linux Mint. Standard Proton.

3070 ti + 5800X + 32GB 1440p on lowest setting, FSR ultra perf. Frame generation OFF:

76.78 fps

I saw a post here that the benchmark was possibly using an outdated version of DLSS(?) Not sure if that is applicable for your situation.

I've gotten decent results with my AMD setup. However enabling frame gen on my system crashes the benchmark after the first cutscene. Frame gen works on my steam deck lcd, though I wouldn't run it natively there.

My specs
Fedora Silverblue 41
Proton experimental
Mesa 24.3.4

2560x1440p
CPU - 5600x
GPU - 6900xt
RAM - 16GB

Ultra preset
Upscaling - AMD FSR
Upscaling mode - Quality
Motion blur - Off
Frame Gen - Disabled
Score - 23505
Avg. FPS - 69

I wasn't using DLSS, was using FSR for frame gen since 30 series can't use frame gen on DLSS.

I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. Any more info you can give me? If I can fix this an run the game I would.

[Jobko]

So a 5800X and a 5900X can run this game on Linux, maybe the 5600X is just not cutting it? Maybe it's heavily reliant on a good CPU?

I am using a 5600x and during the benchmark both CPU and GPU utilization was about 75% - 85%

Since the biggest difference between my system and yours seems to be that you have frame gen enabled and I don't, I'd try to disable it and see what happens.

Sorry to say this but Linux is very bad for gaming 😉

The Steam Deck uses Linux, so even Steam disagrees with you.

Steam actually agrees with me

From Steam Hardware & Software Survey: January 2025 :

Windows 96.55% and growing

Linux 2.06% and declining

Your reading comprehension needs work.

I understand what you said ""Steam Deck is exist that's why Linux is the best""

So I didn't bother responding to exactly what you said because it was ridiculous, rather, I brought more important information from Steam store.

Thank you for proving my point.

With Proton GE9-23, medium graphics and DLSS set to 'Performance' (1440p, no frame gen), I get 64.43 fps.

That's probably the sweet spot for me, though I haven't tested 'Balanced' DLSS yet. Might test this on Garuda as well to see if there's a difference.

I'm a bit worried that the performance will take a hit when they add Denuvo, but we'll see.

[Valinov]

Don't worry, the performance is dog ass on Windows too

[Half Slav]

Besides using linux lol your cpu is weak for this game, you need to have a beafy cpu, yours is barely midranged.

I ran the beta on both linux and windows. there was no performance difference. it was equally ♥♥♥♥ on both of them. It has been 15 mins and I am still waiting for shaders to complile on the benchmark to confirm what I already knew. I will be playing this game in 12 months when they finish making it. They can get probably less than full retail price then. Play stupid games. win stupid prizes. PC gaming is debatably a bigger scene than consoles in a ton of cases now. It's not 2008 anymore where everybody just makes their games for console and that's it. theres like a billion steam accounts. and out of those. 10 percent are actually active. thats a maximum of 10 milliom active players a month. and if half are bots. thats 5 million a month. This isn't a couple of sales anymore capcom and co. Give me a product that F*(**()J_ works. And I'll consider giving the devs my money.
