"After this work, Left 4 Dead 2 is running at 315 FPS on Linux. That the Linux version runs faster than the Windows version (270.6)"

I can see hope for linux in the gaming industry!!

To be fair...

"Interestingly, in the process of working with hardware vendors we also sped up the OpenGL implementation on Windows. Left 4 Dead 2 is now running at 303.4 FPS with that configuration."

It still implies the Direct3D implementation stayed at 270fps. I wonder how Windows+OpenGL fared before the optimisations; presumably it was lower than 270 or OpenGL would have been the baseline.
