NVIDIA 396.18 Linux Benchmarks, Testing Their New Vulkan SPIR-V Compiler
Serious Sam 3 BFE may be running slightly faster with the new compiler stack on the NVIDIA 396 Linux driver.
The system RAM usage also was in better shape.
It's a similar story when upping the visual settings for this Croteam Linux game.
The Talos Principle also saw slightly lower memory use with the new SPIR-V compiler.
