Last week Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was released for Linux after this AAA game premiered for Windows last year. Following its release I ran some Shadow of Mordor Linux benchmarks (and part two). Today are results on the same system when comparing the performance of this game under Ubuntu 15.04 to that of Windows 10 x64 Pro.

While I didn't plan to do a Windows vs. Linux comparison of Shadow of Mordor nor any other tests until if/when Feral Interactive Games is able to provide some command-line switches for automating the game benchmark on Linux, thanks to a number of kind Phoronix readers providing PayPal tips to continue running the benchmark manually outside of the Phoronix Test Suite, I spent the past few days running complementary Windows 10 benchmarks for this demanding game.
