I'm not sure I quite understand the issue Steve has with things updating when adding new cards.

Sure, updates during a single benchmark series is a problem but what is the issue with the system being updated for the next benchmarks?

Proton/amdgpu/Mesa receiving updates is no different than installing newer "Game Ready" drivers when a new GPU comes out.

I assume they don't go out of their way to install older (potentially incompatible) drivers on Windows just so they can compare two separate benchmarks.

Besides that, after disabling Flatpak and rpm-ostree updates in Bazzite, the only remaining variable is Proton. Which should be easily fixed by manually copying a fixed Proton version to their compatibility tools and using that.

Is there really zero windows benchmarks for comparison in this entire video?

big bars are from the video. small bars are from https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/amd-needs-just-shut-amd-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16gb-gpu-review in july

I do want linux to gain market share, but this stuff is important. Eagle 5060 can't even run Dragons Dogma 2 really on linux at 1440p max settings, but can handle it on windows at 1440p max settings. Doesn't apply to me... but this is why we need to see the parity.

9070xt seems fairly close, compared to nvidia
