The YouTube channel "Maximum Fury" conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called "Phantom Liberty" on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more frames compared to Windows 11.

The hardware used for testing included an Asrock B550 motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU from the first RDNA generation, along with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM. The CPU, RAM, and GPU were overclocked, and the system utilized undervolting to save energy costs.

When testing the game at 1080p resolution with high textures, the Linux system achieved an average of 63.72 frames per second (fps), while Windows 11 managed only 48.55 fps. This suggests that the game should run noticeably smoother on the Linux system.

Ha that hit hard. This is basically the system I just upgraded to. Well at least it'll run the game well.

It's the exact same system I upgraded to a couple months ago except I got 5700 x3d. This system slaps bro I love it.

There isn't a single piece of software that I use that makes me think I should upgrade my 5600. Not a single game fully utilizes it (on 1440p res)

Older hardware is fine.

Me with my i7 2600 playing with oblivion level graphics: yeah, older hw is just fine

I was thinking "Let it be Vega. I might give that shitty game a second chance."

Don't mind me and my ThinkPad X220.

Modern computers cost too damn much
