Mesa's RADV Radeon Vulkan Driver Continues Outperforming AMDVLK For RDNA2 Linux Gaming

For the old Batman: Arkham Knight game running via Steam Play with DXVK, the Mesa RADV driver continues showing a small performance advantage over AMDVLK.

Civilization VI was pointing to a performance regression with Mesa 22.2-dev compared to Mesa 22.0.1, which led to its performance being slightly behind AMDVLK.

HITMAN 2 saw Mesa 22.2-dev slightly behind Mesa 22.0 in many of the tests while AMDVLK was delivering similar frame-rates to Mesa 22.0.
