Phoronix published a comparison between RADV vs. RADV+ACO vs. AMDVLK vs. AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan Radeon Linux Gaming Performance on the very latest Mesa 20.1 Git.



Mesa 20.1-dev RADV vs. RADV+ACO vs. AMDVLK vs. AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan Radeon Linux Gaming Performance

Here is an up-to-date look at how the very latest Mesa 20.1 Git performance is for the Radeon "RADV" Vulkan driver both out-of-the-box and when enabling the Valve-backed ACO compiler back-end alternative to AMDGPU LLVM. Plus there are benchmarks of the latest AMDVLK open-source AMD Vulkan driver and also when using AMDGPU-PRO's Vulkan packages that still rely upon AMD's proprietary shader compiler.

The tested driver configurations for this latest AMD Radeon Linux gaming comparison were: Mesa 20.1-devel RADV from the Oibaf PPA on Ubuntu Linux, The same Mesa 20.1-devel RADV build but enabling the ACO back-end via RADV_PERFTEST=aco, AMDVLK 2020.Q1.3 as the latest open-source AMD Vulkan driver released last week, AMDGPU-PRO 19.50 using just its Vulkan driver packages.
