  • The 9800X3D also has the advantage of only having one CCD on the die, which means it will always use the 3D VCache. The higher core count chips sometimes have issues where games and such might run some threads on the wrong core and not get to take advantage of the huge cache.

    That’s why it tends to be the preferred gaming pick, not just the lower price or the fact that games seldom will use more than 16 threads (which is how many the 9800 series give you)











  • You would need to reinstall your games on Linux, to answer your question. Steam and Heroic Games Launcher make this process quite painless, but yeah, still gotta do it. NTFS supports ignoring upper/lowercase, whereas Linux (and other Unix-y systems) do not, at least by default. This can cause all kinds of weird issues down the line.

    Now that said, one thing you could do is make a new steam library on Windows to a drive or partition formatted as ExFAT, then use Steam on Windows to transfer your games to that new library. If you did that, I think you could simply add that steam library to your instance of steam running on Linux Mint. Combined with setting steam to use Proton for any Windows game (it’s just one checkbox to do so), I think maybe you’d be in business.
