Rise of the Tomb Raider continues running well on the RADV driver, but still appears to have more performance potential to tap.

Total War: WARHAMMER II as one of Feral's newer game ports continues working on both NVIDIA/RADV drivers although the performance is still slightly favoring the current NVIDIA Vulkan driver.

The Unigine Heaven benchmark meanwhile continues running very well on RadeonSI where even the RX Vega 56 effectively matched the RTX 2070.

Unigine Superposition also runs very well on RadeonSI.

Well, that's the latest data as of this week for the NVIDIA GeForce / AMD Radeon Linux gaming performance. Some additional test results for other quality settings / resolutions can be found via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file.
