For the best 3D graphics performance out-of-the-box Intel Iris Xe Graphics from this Raptor Lake SoC, Clear Linux and CachyOS were picking up some wins.
For the Unvanquished game, openSUSE Tumbleweed performed surprisingly well.
While in other OpenGL and Vulkan test cases, CachyOS came out in the lead but with upstream Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed being notable performers too. Ubuntu 25.04 tended to perform the worst for the out-of-the-box Iris Xe Graphics performance on the Framework 12.
