Blumenkrantz has done a lot of Unigine optimizations for Zink and it shows with the RX 7600 consistently outperforming RadeonSI for this demanding OpenGL benchmark. The RX 7900 XTX at 1080p was faster on Zink but at 1440p fell behind the RadeonSI driver.

Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: High, Renderer: OpenGL. RX 7900 XTX: RadeonSI was the fastest.

Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Ultra, Renderer: OpenGL. RX 7900 XTX: RadeonSI was the fastest.

For the demanding Unigine Superposition benchmarks, the RX 7600 generally saw similar performance on the Radeon RX 7600 between drivers while the RX 7900 XTX showed Zink performing well but slightly behind the RadeonSI driver.

To no surprise, Unigine Valley was also running well on Zink.
