Storm United is easily one of my favourite up and coming FPS games, it needs more players so get going people.
In this latest patch they have fixed the annoying issue for Linux gamers not being able to connect to larger maps, as well as optimizing the Linux version to reduce a bunch of stutter it had. Full patch notes available here.
It's easily one of the most beautiful FPS games on Linux, the developers are pretty responsive now too and seem to be taking better care of the Linux version too.
If you have been able to try the latest version, be sure to tell us how much better it is! Personally, I'm still annoyed at how slow as hell it is to load.
It can be pretty hit and miss with the servers at times too, the game doesn't seem to gracefully time-out if it cannot connect. If you think a loading screen to get into a server is taking too long, you will need to force quit the game. They really need to improve little things like that before adding more new content I think.

Storm United is a somewhat CPU intensive game (As are all Unreal Engine 4 games including Ark.)
Eg: My i7-940 is the source of my frame-rate issues drop when paired with my GTX 970. (I turn down post-processing to get a better frame-rate in Ark on my girl's GTX 970 and Skylake it boosted FPS from 30 to 55ish)
my AMD CPU is slower than yours by half and im getting 20 - 40fps on a single gtx760 @ 1440p with almost everything on the highest and a few judicial setting drops. It was 5 - 10fps ! but the threaded optimisations really work well with ARK. I try them out.
its a shame no steam machine will get these additions to current & older Unreal engine games :|
pretty good... i get 40-60FPS most of the time.. but drops to 30 area when flying around fast or entering some big base with lots of dinos.. i dont have all max though.. 1080p mostly epic, view distance high, textures high, AA Off/low (it makes everything blurry when enabled), general shadows (thats the real performance killer for me) low.
AMD FX8320@4,2, GTX 970 GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS enabled
as for Storm United.. all maxed and also GL THREADED enabled havent seen it dropping below 70 fps yet...
