As the last of the Vulkan games tested for this article, WARHAMMER II also exhibited nice performance improvements with the latest 2019 Linux software with and without ACO.

If taking the geometric mean of the Vulkan Linux gaming benchmarks, the Radeon RX 580 was 6% faster with the newest code but that turned to 12% when enabling the ACO back-end. In the case of the Radeon RX Vega 64, its performance this year rose by 4% or 8% if enabling ACO.
