NVIDIA GeForce Linux - Ubuntu 12.10 vs. Windows 7

Benchmarking of Ubuntu 12.10, Kubuntu 12.10, and Windows 7 (x86_64 64-bit of all OSes) on a NVIDIA GeForce GT 220, GeForce GTX 460, and GeForce GTX 680 graphics cards when using the latest upstream NVIDIA graphics binary driver releases for Linux and Microsoft Windows. Benchmarking by Phoronix.com with Michael Larabel for a future article looking at the performance difference of OpenGL between Windows and Linux as well as the Unity/KDE differences.
