Quoting: fscherrerDo you have information about resources usage? Like CPU usage, memory usage and the informations from nvidia-settings' "Graphics Card Information" (like Used Dedicated Memory, GPU Utilization, Video Engine Utilization) (I think there's something like that on Windows too)
And what about the Windows ones? (the comparison was my idea, but reading my post again I think I didn't let it clear)

"Especially Unity games to see exactly how poor they can be on Linux."
It's good to know I'm not the only one who feels that :)
(I know, it's about time for me to upgrade my rig, but, come on, there's a lot of games/ports I'm unable to play, but they are far, far away from the graphics/model/texture/lighting/effects quality of a lot of games I could play at a high config set on that other OS).

Quoting: FutureSutureI have to wonder why Steam, considering its purpose, is only adding this feature in 2015.
I truly think we are the responsibles for that, or, in other words, the poor ports we've been getting.
