Even with the open-source Tesseract game, the RX 580 and R9 Fury performance has evolved a great deal since the Mesa 12.0 debut in 2016.

Unigine Valley sees its biggest boost moving from Mesa 17.0 to 18.0.

Lastly was Metro Last Light Redux on these two Radeon graphics cards and it did show a nice evolution in performance since Mesa 12.0.

Mesa 18.0 is currently being prepared for release and should debut within the next two weeks or so. For more information on all of the OpenGL/Vulkan changes to be found in this quarterly Mesa update, see our Mesa 18.0 feature overview.
