Well, I was playing a bit with it. For the most part, I am pleased. The framerate drops are annoying, but so far, comparable. I tried it with both monitors on, but later i will try with just one. I usually get much better performance that way.
Why Are We Still Dual Booting?

- Why do you dual boot?
First of all... I have used Linux in professional life since 1995. I have used windows for personal up until last year. I dual boot for 2 reasons: games i cannot get running in wine or native linux and 2 ... i am support for a bunch of people and I need to know everything about windows to save them from themselves.
- Do you see yourself first as a gamer, then as a Linux user?
Neither... Professionally, I am unix/linux 100%... no windows. Privately, up until last year, I was windows at home due to 2 reasons: games and tv. I was able to convert from mce to mythtv and then the house to linux. Also, family was windows for a while too. I have been gaming since 1982. I am still a gamer at heart and have almost 600 games in steam. So most of these games I bought years ago that are coming to linux. I have 278 working in wine and 150 native.
- Are the 1000+ games on Steam and hundreds more on other sites still not enough for you to be a 100% Linux gamer?
I only buy games that have native linux now. The problem is some of my favs only run in windows like bioshock series, fear, gta, max payne 3, poker night, among others... The thing is... i can go without most of these but the ones i mentioned. Last windows only game i have bought was guantlet.
- If you feel so passionately about Linux that you’ll take questionable actions to defend it, then why not do the most simple thing and stop gaming on Windows?
I have no issues playing on wine when there is no alternative. As long as windows os is no where near my network. I have rebought some games that came out for linux.
- As someone with a tendency towards a specific genre, do you feel the current Linux suggestion doesn't cater to your gaming needs?
definitely.... racing... no f1, grid is coming thankfully, need more fps... but i have converted most of my old ones like quakes, heretics, the old id games, prey to native linux. There is too much junk on steam right now. Although Plague, inc just appeared in linux and i am loving it.
The only games i use wine for is diablo3 and starcraft 2... the rest i use crossover which i support and have supported for 7 years now. Codeweavers is the corp caretaker of wine and made my switch and my family's possible. Most of the games in crossover could not get working in the oss wine. Until we have critical mass to get the others converted, i am happy this way. I am not getting any younger.

runs great on my nvidia titan. I was having issue with vsync though... it was acting like it was off when on. Turning it off was much worse. So not sure if real bug or not.

I have been wondering this point for a while now. I converted to full time linux last year (although I have ADD on my DE choices right now :D ). While i still have my windows partition, I cannot remember the last time i went in windows. I just wish Blizzard would start to embrace us. Diablo3 runs great in Wine, but how much better would it be native? I can imagine quite a bit.
I hope Liam is correct.

Quoting: facelesstried all the settings... oddly just the main menu into game and during game. Before that, no issue at all. I hope i can figure this out.Quoting: doctorxruns good.. but sound is stuttering every second though. Not getting that in any other games. suggestions?It seems that sound issues have been common in Total war games. Try different sound settings like raising the sound cache.
