Easiest way is to pick the Extreme preset, change it to custom, tick Fullscreen and pick 1920×1080.

I’ll add the Tessellation and AA settings to the main post too.

:lol: Bioshock Infinite and Shadow of Mordor

[RTheren]

Because those 2 are the best optimized Linux games

[Pedro Mateus]

It’s exactly because of the glaring CPU bottleneck that I included them.

Yep, it would be interesting to see some Company of Heroes and Grid Autosport results.

Updated the charts in the OP with the Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1 results.

Spoiler: They’re basically the same.
