    Here's a secret tip for those who have AMD cards and like playing older games (and some newer ones): the AMD drivers for OpenGL on Windows are utter crap compared to the open source Mesa drivers on Linux. You can see a huge performance gain playing OpenGL games on Linux instead of Windows.

      yeah, I noticed that and it was really unexpected. Dota is way faster on my ancient (~8 years old) PC on Linux than on Windows.

        I first noticed it with OpenMW when I had better performance on a laptop running Linux from 2010 than my desktop that I built in 2013.
