Ubuntu10.04, MacOSX snow leopard, and Windows7 game performance competitions

Last week, Phoronix brought us a comparison between Ubuntu10.04 and Windows 7 OpenGL game performance tests. Today, Apple MacOSX10.6.3 also joined the battlefield and competed with Windows7Professionalx64 and Ubuntu10.04LST. What is the result? Let's take a look.

Last week, Phoronix compared the OpenGL game performance tests of Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. Today, Apple's Mac OS X 10.6.3 also joined the war, what is the result of competing with Windows 7 Professional x64 and Ubuntu 10.04 LST? Let's take a look.

Considering the addition of Mac OS X, Phoronix selected two machines in this test, both of which are Mac Mini, but the configurations are different. The old Mac Mini version uses an Intel graphics card, the new version uses NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards. The specific configurations of the two machines are as follows:

-- NVIDIA Mac Mini:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7350 2.00 GHz (dual Core), motherboard: Apple Mac-F22C86C8, chipset: NVIDIA MCP79, memory: 1 GB DDR3-1067MHz, Hard Drive: 120GB Fujitsu MHZ2120B, graphics card: NVIDIA C79 [GeForce 9400] 512 MB (450 MHz), sound card: Realtek ALC889A, display: Dell S2409W.

-- Intel Mac Mini:

Processor: Intel Core 2 CPU T5600 1.83 GHz (dual Core), motherboard: Apple Mac-F4208EAA, chipset: Intel Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS + ICH7-M, memory: 2x512 MB DDR2-667MHz, Hard Disk: 80 GB Hitachi HTS54258, graphics card: Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS 943/940 GML Express (Intel GMA 950) IGP 256 MB, sound card: SigmaTel STAC9221 A1, display: Dell S2409W.

Unfortunately, the Intel Mac Mini platform can only compare the new capabilities of Mac OS X and Ubuntu, the old Mac Mini cannot load 64-bit Windows 7 because of the EFI problem (that is, the well-known "Select CD-ROM Boot Type" problem.

The benchmark test compares the local compatibility and comparison support of the three operating systems for OpenArena, Urban Terror, Nexuiz, Warsow, and X-Plane, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, and x respectively.
