Is there really zero windows benchmarks for comparison in this entire video?

GamersNexus' normal GPU benchmark videos are to help gamers compare GPU performance on various games to determine what they should purchase for their needs. With this new video, they are now providing the same service for Linux Gamers going forward.

The goal of this video was not to compare Windows performance to Linux performance. There are videos that exist which do that, if that is what you're were hoping for.

If we want to convince the windows crowd that linux is a viable alternative, we really need the comparison to show the difference isn't so bad.

I've seen the ancient gameplays video you linked, but there is very little out there for linux vs windows benchmarks that are of high quality. Most videos tend to be incredibly amateur. I really hoped they would throw in a couple of composite charts with windows vs linux results since GN has all this data already and for a simple summary it shouldn't have been much work at all. Instead I need to look at multiple videos.

The video I linked is 2 months old, only focuses on graph data (no gameplay videos) across both AMD and NVidia cards and multiple distros. It's quite high quality IMHO. Are you confusing it with something else?

EDIT: I just realized you're referring to the name of his youtube channel. D'oh!
