GravityMark OpenGL/Vulkan Performance For NVIDIA RTX 30 vs. AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series

When running GravityMark at 4K, the OpenGL performance was back to where we would normally expect with the AMD GPUs on RadeonSI having the Radeon RX 6800 XT right behind the RTX 3080 Ti and the RX 6800 behind the RTX 3080 while the RX 6700 XT was dancing with the RTX 3060 Ti. Even with OpenGL, all of these tested RTX 30 and RDNA2 GPUs could run GravityMark at 4K fine.

The Vulkan testing is where NVIDIA's Linux driver continued to shine with coming out ahead of the Radeon graphics cards running the latest Mesa RADV driver. In any case, using Vulkan with GravityMark continued to show much better performance for both the Radeon and GeForce graphics cards rather than using OpenGL.
