A New Linux Feature Might Boost Your FPS

Today we’re taking a look at NTsync, a new Linux kernel feature that could improve performance for Windows games running through Proton.
NTsync improves how thread synchronization works compared to the traditional fsync implementation used by Proton. In heavily threaded games this can reduce CPU overhead and improve performance. In this video I compare Proton 10.0-4 using fsync with Proton GE 10-32 using NTsync to see if it actually makes a difference.
