Here's a look at OpenGL and Vulkan results for 3840 x 2160 with high quality settings. As you can see with the NVIDIA results, the Vulkan performance ranged from being the same as OpenGL to a little bit faster.

With ultra quality visuals at 4K, the OpenGL vs. Vulkan performance for NVIDIA was about the same while RADV Vulkan remains a bit slower than RadeonSI OpenGL. At least with this most-demanding test scenario, the Radeon R9 Fury was running comfortably between the GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti while the RX 480 was between the GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1060.
