I also fired up some workstation OpenGL benchmarks as well in being curious about the current performance there with the open-source graphics drivers on these consumer cards.

SPECViewPerf 2020 benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2560 x 1440, Viewset: CREO-03. RX 7900 XTX was the fastest.

For some of the SPECViewPerf 2020 benchmarks on Linux, the Radeon RX 7900 XT can even outperform the GeForce RTX 4090 thanks to no artificial driver limitations and all of the workstation/SPEC-focused optimizations that AMD invested into RadeonSI the past few years.

Interesting for CREO-O3, the GeForce RTX 4080 delivered the best performance-per-Watt but was closely followed by the Radeon RX 7700 XT.
