Post by: ssjhook on 30 November 2001, 07:40: l00zer if you plan on using your OS for video games i would stick with windows

when it comes to graphics linux gets the small straw

Post by: Chooco on 3 September 2002, 10:31: the change is FPS depends on the program and your video card really..

if you are using a Nvidia graphics card, you will not see any loss in FPS
if you are playing a game through Wine, you will see a loss in FPS
if you are playing a game which has been ported over to linux and you play it from an X windows (command from console is 'xinit') you will see substantial increase in FPS

if you just plan to play games, stay on Windows.

Post by: voidmain on 3 September 2002, 20:29: Thanks Tux. Yeah, went back to the farm over the long weekend so I haven't been able to post. And I picked up a nasty case of the flu while I was there. The normal 5 hour drive back took me 8 hours last night because I had to stop and lose my lunch every 50 miles. It was by far the most unpleasant trip of my life!

Post by: Ice-9 on 3 September 2002, 21:52: In fact if you plan to stick with the Quake series you could switch to Linux, if not follow Chooco's advice and stick with Win for gaming.
I run Quake III in Win2K and linux, it feels about the same BUT ..........
If I run a timedemo with demo four I get 217 frames/second in Win2K and 243 in Linux, with the same version of NVidia drivers for my Geforce 3 Ti200.
