Given that Basemark also runs on mobile targets (Android + iOS), on the desktop it ran with surprising ease at 1440p and 4K. Well, aside from the Mesa driver challenges. For the OpenGL performance at 1440p, the Radeon graphics cards all performed relatively close to each other and that was well behind the GTX 1660 SUPER.

At 4K, all of the AMD Radeon cards on Linux 5.5 + Mesa 20.1-devel ran behind the RTX 2060 or worse. The RTX 2060 meanwhile and above all ran at 70+ FPS with the TITAN RTX topping out at 138 FPS.
