Rise of the Tomb Raider sped up enough on Linux 4.20+ that the RX Vega 64 went from competing with the GTX 1070 now to in line (or even faster) than the GTX 1070 Ti.

Even with high quality visuals, the RX Vega 64 performance saw a nice boost in performance out of Linux 4.20 Git and the current 4.21 work-in-progress DRM-Next code.

Talos Principle was another game where using the latest Linux kernel made the performance of the Vega graphics card go from slower than the GTX 1070 now to being faster than the GTX 1070 TI.
