Pretty much across the board for both OpenGL and Vulkan games I've been seeing better RX 5700 XT performance when using the Linux 5.7 kernel compared to 5.6 stable.

The Polaris and Vega performance was stable in this testing while the RX 5700 XT tended to run a few frames per second faster across the games tested.
