RadeonSI Performance For Civilization VI On Linux With Mesa 17.1 + 4.10 Kernel

Running the game at its highest quality settings at 1080p, all of the tested Radeon cards were under 20 FPS. Even the hardware like the RX 480 and R9 Fury were performing between the speed of a GTX 1050 and GTX 960. Aside from the RX 460, all of the Radeon cards were performing at the same speed, further confirming a major bottleneck.

On the bright side, at least this heavy Linux game exposes frame timing information that we pick up via the Phoronix Test Suite.
