The numbers are wild. In developer benchmarks, Dirt 3 went from 110.6 FPS to 860.7 FPS, which is an impressive 678% improvement. Resident Evil 2 jumped from 26 FPS to 77 FPS. Call of Juarez went from 99.8 FPS to 224.1 FPS. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands saw gains from 130 FPS to 360 FPS.

Might have to make another effort to switch to Linux. Kind of a side question about Linux, is there a good android emulator? On windows I've been using Google play games which has official support for my game of choice but if an emulator will work I don't know what else I use that's locked to windows.

Marvel Rivals,Overwatch, Helldivers 2, Arc Raiders all run without trouble on Linux. Its totally possible to focus heavy on multiplayer games while being on Linux these days which is pretty cool. Im curious about Marathon but not enough to drop Linux for it.
