Yeah I saw that. Rather than engage in the poo-flinging that goes on on "Windows vs Linux" forums, I would love to know exactly why it runs faster. Is it the drivers? The game itsself? The kernel?

its due to directx being crap. also reading the link about win8 being awful for pc's in general maybe the reason behind the shift to linux

But there are just SOOO many factors to consider. 3D desktop enabled? Number of processes running in the background? etc. I think it would be good if they ran this test on a system average Joe is likely to use and see how much boost it still gets them.
