A recent benchmark video is currently doing the rounds showing off Far Cry New Dawn from Ubisoft, despite it not supporting Linux thanks to Wine, DXVK and Steam Play it seems to run beautifully.
The benchmark video from YouTube user FlightlessMango, has a side-by-side comparison of Far Cry New Dawn running on Steam Play Proton 4.11-3, Wine (the TKG build) + DXVK and finally Windows 10.

Looking into the details of it, the user was running it on this system:
- Cpu: i7 8700k @ 4.7Ghz
- Memory: 16GB G.Skill Trident Z 3200 Mhz
- Graphics Card: GTX 1080 Ti Strix Gaming (435.21 Linux driver)
- Motherboard: Asus Rog Strix Z370-E Gaming
- Operating System: Arch linux
- Kernel: 5.2.13-27-tkg-pds fsync
You can actually see the full benchmark details they put online here, which make it a little easier to read over. Running at about 97% of the Windows 10 average is honestly pretty incredible.
I continue to be amazed at how far Wine and DXVK have been able to push Linux gaming. If progress like this continues, hopefully that will enable more gamers to take a good look at Linux.

Ah - that's a real bummer, thanks for posting! It would be for coop I'd buy this one.
Anyone else had success with networking in this game on Linux?
had to patch the executable to get Far Cry 5 to run at all.

Quoting: lodWhat's going on with the wine build? Sometimes it has similar FPS as windows but 10%CPU load less.Maybe we're getting to the point where the specifically graphics/gamey stuff is so close we start to see underlying effects from the efficiency, or lack thereof, of the operating system itself, and Windows 10 is less efficient than Linux, or at least whatever specific Linux they're using.

Shame the game is mostly a repaint of the previous one, which seemed better in some respects.

Quoting: TheRiddickJust goes to show how good DXVK can be if given the chance.
