The OpenGL-rendered Deus Ex: Mankind Divided saw several FPS gains on the Navi and Vega 20 graphics cards tested while the Polaris performance was unchanged.

Hitman 2 run under Steam Play on Linux did see some performance improvements on the Radeon VII while the other graphics cards saw the same level of performance.

Dota 2 with its OpenGL and Vulkan renderers both saw some minor improvements to the average frame-rate on Linux 5.4. More exciting was the minimum frame-rate being ~10 FPS higher on this new kernel.
