Open-Source Radeon Driver Performance Against NVIDIA Linux Gaming For March 2021
First up was Dawn of War III with this Feral game port having a Vulkan renderer. At 4K with high/ultra quality settings the RX 6800 XT and RTX 3080 were competing neck-and-neck followed by the RX 6800. The competition was similar between NVIDIA and AMD at 1440p.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided continues to be tested as it remains one of the most demanding native Linux games making use of OpenGL for this port by Feral Interactive in the pre-Vulkan times. Here at 4K with low quality settings the RX 6800 series was outperforming the RTX 3080 by a significant margin.
Valve's Dota 2 with Vulkan at 4K seems to be hitting a RADV/ACO driver bottleneck even at 4K.
