cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/36739454 > Quick background. My primary gaming is done on a Promox host running Wolf in a LXC. I use this combined with Moonlight to stream my games to various screens around the house. For on the go and couch gaming I use a Lenovo Legion Go running SteamOS. I also own a MacBook Pro. > > I decided to see how well each of them perform for gaming, because why not? I used Borderlands 3 as my benchmark since it was the only game I own that runs without issue on all three and has a built in tool. > > All tests were done on High settings with Vsync disabled. The DX12 tests did have FSR2 enabled and set to Balanced. Prices are in USD.
