👁 Unigine Heaven benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Mode: Fullscreen, Renderer: OpenGL. Ubuntu 25.04 was the fastest.

👁 Unigine Heaven benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Mode: Fullscreen, Renderer: D3D11. Windows 11 Pro was the fastest.

The Unigine Heaven benchmark showed the Windows and Linux performance with OpenGL to be very similar on this Lunar Lake laptop. Interestingly the Intel OpenGL driver on Windows was slightly faster than using Direct3D 11.

👁 Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Low, Renderer: OpenGL. Ubuntu 25.04 was the fastest.

👁 Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Low, Renderer: D3D11. Windows 11 Pro was the fastest.

👁 Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Medium, Renderer: OpenGL. Ubuntu 25.04 was the fastest.

👁 Unigine Valley benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Mode: Fullscreen, Renderer: D3D11. Windows 11 Pro was the fastest.

With the newer Unigine Superposition benchmark, Ubuntu 25.04 was delivering slightly better performance than Windows 11 Pro for the Xe2 graphics with the Intel Core Ultra 258V.

👁 Unigine Valley benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Mode: Fullscreen, Renderer: OpenGL. Ubuntu 25.04 was the fastest.

Unigine Valley also showed the great strength of the Intel Iris OpenGL open-source driver on Linux from this X1 Carbon Gen 13 laptop.
