Realtime Rendering, Physics, Simulations, Animation, and more! I benchmarked everything in Blender and compared Windows …

I have noticed this, too. I have worked with Blender 3.6 on Linux – and then I decided to also install Blender 3.6 on my Windows 10 partition. While rotating my objects or changing the camera in the viewport, Blender suddenly is sluggish and slow, whereas it is very responsive when run on Linux.
The game with Godot Engine. For some reason, Godot Engine is also more responsive on Linux than it is on Windows (same laptop). GIMP, too, starts much faster on my Linux partition than on my Windows partition, even though both partitions are on the same SSD drive.
It would be great to see an update of this comparison in 2024 OSs
confess you are upset with billegates me too 🙂 I insteall linux tomorrow 🙂
Where are the simulation benchmark files? Why did you take them down?
Could you make a 2023 version of this test?
Pc also consumes more power(5 to 8%) with linux than windows. But with twice the performance increase, you still consider using linux for blender.
if you want to try linux with blender for yourself and have an nvidia gpu make sure you have the propietary drivers installed because some distro’s come with the nouvea drivers pre-installed which are EXTREMELY slow and don’t support optiX
I’ve tried Rocky Linux and Ubuntu with my Intel i7 13700 and RTX 4070 – Blender crashes whenever the poly count goes over 1 million. I have the latest NVIDIA driver installed.
This sucks, pull a finger out Nvidia you muppets!
even more impressive when you realise that Ubuntu is one of the slowest linux distro’s
I wish I could get by with only using Linux, but I’m in the same boat. There are some software suites I use that aren’t available on Linux. Additionally, some of the hardware that I use isn’t Linux compatible either. If everything I have were Linux compatible, I would’ve made the switch a long time ago.
Windows games also run better on Linux
Great video. However, you had a statistics error in the end while computing the result “49%”. If you have multiple measurements with results in percentages, you should use geometric mean to compute the overall performance, not average. Otherwise the computed averaged percentage doesn’t correctly describe the overall performance.
Even as a Linux user, I wouldn’t expect Linux to be this much faster. I would guess the system was not turboboosting correctly on the Windows causing CPU to be bottleneck for practically everything.
are you planing to repeat this with windows 11 and newer versions of blender?
Can you please do this again it 2023 now
I wonder how MacOS compares with all of that.
The only benchmark that matters is Deleting The Default Cube benchmark.
Twice as fast, but hardly any software.
Linux is faster with your harddrive/sdd, loading times are pretty often shorter
Wait did you run this with an Nvidia GPU? the drivers for Linux by nvidia are usually not that good,
amd seems to work alot better from what I’ve heard from many many other linux users I’d like to see the diffrence with an amd gpu
