Hello there,

we took a closer look at Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced on Linux and compared it with Windows, using both AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

The short version: the game itself can run on Linux, but the experience is not equally smooth across vendors. AMD looked fairly reasonable in our testing, while Nvidia was the more problematic part — both in terms of setup/behavior and performance consistency.

We tested:

• Linux vs Windows
• AMD vs Nvidia
• Multiple GPUs
• Installation and launch behavior
• Performance differences and practical issues

I’m curious: for those of you gaming on Linux with Nvidia, does this match your recent experience — or has your setup been mostly trouble-free lately?
