Rise of the Tomb Raider was just released by Feral Interactive earlier this year and exclusively relies upon Vulkan with its Linux port. With this game depending upon the scene it was generally scaling well up to four or eight threads. Particularly from four to eight threads, it does seem the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or its driver benefits more than the RX Vega 64 or the RADV driver.

With Serious Sam 3 BFE at low quality settings and 1080p, the scaling again peaked at around eight threads.

Or with ultra quality settings in Serious Sam 3 BFE, the scaling went up to 16 threads when using the NVIDIA configuration.
