Sorry if I missed it but does that article reference what spec system (gpu, cpu etc) they used?

Seems like they link to other articles showing the opposite of what they found (phoronix showing quake faster on linux + article showing l4d2 faster on linux)

It would be interesting to see the difference of open source and closed source drivers. Not to mention kernel optimisations.

I know that's probably out of scope for most steamos users. But many, like myself, are perfectly comfortable compiling the kernel for our hardware or switching drivers.
