Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, January 31, X.Org and Wayland are the two mainstream display servers on the Linux platform, so which one is better in Linux game performance? Foreign science and technology media Phoronix has tested a number of games on Ubuntu 22.10.

This review was tested on Ubuntu 22.10 running GNOME 43.1. With the installation of the Nvidia R525 driver and the latest open source AMD Radeon Linux driver, we first tested the performance of games based on X.Org/ X11, and then tested Wayland.

On the AMD side, use Linux 6.2 Git and Mesa 23.1-devel code from Oibaf PPA, while testing with the latest Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card. Nvidia is their latest v525.85.05 public driver version, which also uses GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards.

CTOnews.com attached games for this test:

Cyber punk 2077 (Cyberpunk 2077)

"Dust Rally 2.0" (DiRT Rally 2.0)

"F1 22"

Grand Theft car 5 (Grand Theft Auto V)

"killer 3" (Hitman 3)

Subway: the Last Dawn (Metro Last Light Redux)

Tomb Raider: shadow (Shadow of the Tomb Raider)

Total War: three Kingdoms (Total War: Three Kingdoms)

"X-Plane 12"

"DDraceNetwork"

"Quake 2 RTX"

"Tesseract"

"Xonotic"

"Unvanquished"

Tests show that Wayland games perform better when using AMD Radeon graphics cards and Intel set display devices, but X.org performs better when using the R525 series of Nvidia graphics drivers.

In the different games tested, when switching from a GNOME X.Org session to Mutter with Wayland, the frame rate dropped by about 16%. Nvidia continues to work to improve their support for Wayland, so it will be interesting to see how this performance difference changes during 2023.
