If you see my post above, you can see that I traded in my 8120 for 8320 and I OC to 4GHz
2. I do have dual channel
3. Again if you see my post above, you can see that I have the M5A97 LE R2.0 and i think that's only pci gen 2.0

AMD CPUs just suck at singlethreading and OpenGL is pretty much singlethreaded.. its modified to take advantage of multiple cores but its not as good as say DX11 in that area. At least thats what i have gathered from developers.
so for gaming in linux and opengl you need really good single core performance to get better framerates in most cases.
PCI-E gen2.0 vs 3.0 doesnt make difference, i havent seen utilization going to 100% yet with my gen2.0
results at 1080p

I have a brother who has a 750 ti and a 8150 (So better than my old setup), he runs windows and when he plays, he can run it 40-50 fps on the high preset with barely any drops. And as you said OPENGL is singlethreaded, so I hope that someday feral interactive will use vulkan on this game, maybe even after deus ex. In the meantime though, I guess I'll have to wait to either buy zen or kaby lake, or wait until if any news if feral has any plans to port this to vulkan.

Yeah on Windows I have used an FX-8350, an FX-6100 and my FX-9590 and all do very well with DirectX games. In paticular games from EA and Ubisoft make good use of more than 4 cores. Hopefully OpenGL continues to get better in this regard. It makes it tough using Linux for gaming when I know that on Windows I would usually get much higher FPS. There are exceptions though. Soma seems to run better under Linux for me than in Windows.
This is mitigated a little on Windows due to the way DirectX works on Windows and the large efforts by Microsoft to optimise their systems so they work better on AMD CPUs. However even on Windows the performance of games can be limited by the CPU. Deus Ex Mankind Divided for example, on Windows the best AMD FX8/9 series CPU with an Nvidia 1080 gets similar performance figures to an Intel i3. It's sometimes marginal and depends on the game etc but in general you can get a large boost by swapping to Intel CPU.
