How The Radeon RX Vega Performance Has Evolved Since Launch

Xonotic is also running faster with the newer driver code by about 7%.

Unigine Heaven on the RX Vega 64 is faster by 15% with the latest Linux driver support.

Unigine Valley also improved but to a lesser extent.

Unigine Superposition is also faster with this newest Linux driver code.

With the lone exception of Dota 2 seeing a drop in performance, the other Linux games and OpenGL benchmarks tested are seeing generally a noticeable improvement in performance when comparing the launch-day RX Vega 56/64 Linux driver support to where it's at now as we end out 2017. It will be interesting to see how much more Radeon Linux improves for OpenGL and Vulkan in 2018.
