48 vs 28 (a 70% increase in linux)

Take it with a grain of salt (settings are identical, though I forgot to check which plugins are running under linux).

Linux - pop_os 19.04 (with default kernel 5.0.0), amdgpu driver (latest from pop_os repositories)
Windows - Windows 10 1809 (LTSC), driver 19.7.1

Ryzen 1600 @ 3.80GHz, AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB, 16GB RAM.

Will the Rotate MD 80, FlyJsim 727 and 737, X-Camera, XP Realistic Pro, Zibo 737-800 work in the LInux version? If they do, then I might set up a dual boot with Windows 10 and Linux Mint and use Linux Mint specifically for X-Plane 11 if it's that much better in Linux.

Keep us posted how its running in "daily" use in a non vanilla environment. Hf ;)

I have heard the OpenGL support of Linux AMD GPU drivers is claimed to be much better than the for the Windows version, this would be in agreement if you ensure the plugin thing does not give wrong values.

The gap would also be roughly in agreement with what LR measured in their first OpenGL vs Vulkan experiments with a AMD GPU (but they didn't mention if this was on Windows or not): https://youtu.be/Lrxkv2DSHAI?t=2701 (time stamp link seems not to work, skip to 45:00)

The gap might be much smaller for Nvidia GPUs.

I have finished doing some actual testing just now, I just need to compare the results. Will keep updated.

Pretty nice gains. Not the original 70%, but still a nice 40% boost framerate boost.

This time all plugins were disabled, preferences reset.
