Gaming on ZEN 4 to ZEN 5: Windows vs Linux

We tested so many games with our Nvidia RTX 4090 because we wanted to know the truth. What is the average Zen 5 uplift?? Is it better or worse for Linux?

Why Nobara?

We used Nobara for a few reasons. The main one is ease of setup. Nobara comes with preinstalled applications like Steam, GOverlay (basically MSI Afterburner for Linux), and Lutris for instance. It has some personal optimizations from Glorious Eggroll to be gaming-focused. It is also preloaded with all the necessary Wine dependencies and auto drivers for Nvidia and AMD in addition to Game Mode in settings. It’s Fedora-based, and Fedora has come a long way for being one of the best compatibility-wise for gaming. Yes, it’s not necessary to use Nobara, but it is convenient and good at what it does. If yu tune it right, you can use any distro.

Which agesa was used for these? The new 1202 which has fixed the inter-ccd latency issue, or an older one

Single CCD Ryzen should not be affected.

Just for clarity: what version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider was used? The official Linux port that runs on Vulkan, or the Windows version using some compatibility layer?
