Mesa RADV vs. AMDVLK Radeon Vulkan Performance For July 2021

F1 2020 was one of the games with the largest performance difference between these two open-source Radeon Vulkan drivers.

AMDVLK 2021.Q3.1 was running into Vulkan errors when trying to run Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 with their new DXVK-based Vulkan rendering options.

At 4K with the lowest quality settings, RADV commanded a sizable lead over AMDVLK for Shadow of the Tomb Raider that runs on Linux natively. But with the 4K highest quality settings was a very close race and was one of the rare cases where AMDVLK came out ahead albeit by a very thin margin.
