Phoronix is fair with these sorts of things and these benchmark results are pretty typical. There's "side-by-side" videos all over the web as well that were posted by gamers. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=win10-nv-ubu1504&num=2 Only 10% might not sound like much... computers are already very fast. But these are the people who add water-cooling to their CPU so they can overclock it by a few percent. These are people who are willing to spend close to a $1000 for a video card so a few percent faster is significant to them. I don't play games other than flight simulators and those aren't really games anyway.
