We’ve put together a new article that covers how the very
latest 3D games in Linux perform with the latest video cards and
drivers. This very detailed article contains:
- Four recent games: Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament,
Descent3, and Soldier of Fortune - Four video cards: 3dfx Voodoo5-5500, ATI Rage 128 Pro, Matrox
G400Max, and NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS - Two operating systems: Linux with a 2.4.0 kernel and and
Windows 98 - Five resolutions: 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024, and
1600×1200 - And both 16-bit and 32-bit color depths
Together, the results here comprise a comprehensive collection of
benchmarks, commentary, and instructions that should explain to the
Linux gamer how each piece of hardware is performing with the
latest drivers. From this, a gamer should have a better idea of
what is currently possible in Linux compared to Windows and what
the future could hold as drivers are revised and improved.
