It's a very interesting video.
I haven't checked very well, but judging by the FPS the game is slower under Linux: NVidia is 30% slower and AMD 50%.
Overall visual quality seems very close to me on every platform/card.

What GPUs, what driver, why Ubuntu for AMD and why SteamOS for nVidia.
Whoever did this should be ashamed that these questions rise and stay unanswered.
What a pointless waste of time and effort.

I have 3 thoughts:
1. Performance is about where I'd expect it, NVidia SteamOS is quite decent, while not running the latest drivers.
2. I should get this game.
3. I should first get better hardware.

Quoting: nattydreadis it a native build or a port?
It was ported by Feral Interactive, and it is native. A port doesn't make something not native.

It happens with this specific game.
Linux and windows come head to head when it has to do with NVidia.

well what I mean perhaps is: does it use a wrapper to DirectX or does it directly use OpenGL? There must be some reason it doesn't perform as well on SteamOS.
