I'd like to see a benchmark hackintosh vs linux, any brave Mac&Linux fan with an Nvidia card is going to do it with Phoronix Test Suite?

Yea you know what I'll test it out, Ubuntu 9.04 fully updated vs. OS X 10.5.5 because i dont have a safe way to update quite yet.

Alright here are my test results so far.

From the looks of it Mac doesnt run as well without its precious hardware configurations... figures.

And well I cant upload files directly to InsanelyMac so here are the FPS and a direct link to a zip with the actual result files

Ubuntu: 120 FPS
Mac: 82.95 FPS

Test Results

thanx for your benchmark! I have a similar situation with an ati card, but even if the fps are lower in osx the video quality is better on osx than in linux. It's strange.
