After reading the Maximum Linux review and from various posts around the net, it seems that the Linux version of Tribes 2 is comfortably faster than the Windows version. Apparently the Linux version runs T2 with all details maxed at 1024x768 in 32bit color at around 30-40 frames on an Athlon 700 with a Geforce GTS card. With all options maxed running T2 on Win2k with a Duron 950 and an oc'ed GTS card, I only receive about 30-45 frames. If anyone runs the Linux version of Tribes 2, please post your system specs and performance (framerate) of your rig.
In addition, can anyone give a little insight on how well the ATI drivers for Linux perform? I am seriously considering installing Linux again on a separate hard drive for the sole purpose of running Tribes 2 if the framerates are noticeably better than having it run on Win2k.
For those FreeBSD users: Does the Linux version of Tribes 2 run on FreeBSD?
