Only one distro being tested, with only one CPU+GPU configuration.
Four games, none of which being Rise of the Tomb Raider (Feral Interactive's next Linux port).

Performance scaling isn't fantastic in this early state.
We do need to wait until more games, hardware and Linux distros are tested to make an informed judgment though.
Given how early this project is: I don't expect to see over single digit percentage gains.

I also want to see how Solus performs with this, given they have someone contributing to the project.
Solus is pretty well known for its speed, so hopefully they can make good use of this.


Also:
4k 144Hz, HDR monitors sound lovely, but: OLED.
I want OLED.

Thanks for sharing. It's a very limited test, but it's a starting point.

Also, for the amount of money those monitors could cost, you can buy an OLED TV. Mind you, it remains to be seen how responsive will the monitors be compared to an OLED TV, but you can have OLED if you want.

My only criticism towards GOG is that they don't sell wallet cards like other stores do. Leaving consoles aside, Valve, MSoft or even EA have them, yet GOG doesn't. And that's a problem because I don't care how safe their system is, I don't like my credit details online.

I can assure you that, if they launched those cards, I'd buy a lot from them.

You want prepaid cash cards ? LOL, I don't know how you would deal with smaller online retailers like Newegg who don't have a prepaid cash system ... 

Besides there's arguably a bigger financial overhead from buying prepaid cash cards than there is with dealing fraud transaction and you can mitigate fraud by applying for a card with a low credit limit from a bank ... 

Maybe I haven't expressed myself too well. When I mean wallet cards, I mean these:

 

After all, if EA has them, GOG could also do with them.

Oh, and when I buy something from an online store, I always use transfer. As I said, I don't give online certain data.
