For other OpenGL workloads the Radeon PRO W7500/W7600 both performed comparable between the latest upstream state and when using the packaged driver stack intended for enterprise Linux distributions.

GravityMark benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Renderer: Vulkan. W7600: Linux 6.5 + Mesa 23.3-dev was the fastest.

Turning the tables to Vulkan workloads, it was very exciting to see for cases like GravityMark that the RADV Mesa driver could compete with AMD's proprietary "PRO" Vulkan driver that is derived from the public AMDVLK open-source driver code but with the proprietary compiler bits.
