While the F1 2015 Formula One racing game was released for Windows last year, only yesterday was the Linux port released by Feral Interactive. Given the high requirements for F1 2015 on Linux with this OpenGL port, I decided to test this racing game on a range of NVIDIA graphics cards under Ubuntu Linux. Yep, only NVIDIA tests this round as the game doesn't work yet with the AMD Linux drivers.

Feral Interactive recommends a GeForce GTX 970 or better for playing F1 2015 on Linux while the listed minimum system requirement is a GeForce GT 640. Under Windows, the game lists the minimum supported GPUs as a AMD HD 5770 or higher / Intel 4th Gen Iris / GeForce GTS450 or higher. Their recommended graphics on Windows is a Radeon R9 290, 5th Gen Intel Iris Pro, or GeForce GTX 970. Given this Linux port is much more taxing on the system and doesn't even work with the Intel or AMD Linux drivers, for this comparison I tested a variety of Kepler and Maxwell graphics cards.
