SteamOS 3.5 Delivering Some Decent Performance Gains For The Steam Deck

Cyberpunk 2077 was another title where the SteamOS 3.5 upgrade hadn't yielded any measurable performance difference on the Steam Deck's custom AMD APU.

When running the GravityMark benchmarks, the Vulkan ray-tracing performance did come in slightly faster with SteamOS 3.5... Not too surprising though considering all of the Vulkan ray-tracing work on RADV in the past several months.

While the GravityMark ray-tracing performance came out faster on SteamOS 3.5, the Quake II RTX performance was unchanged over SteamOS 3.4.

The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark was also slightly faster on SteamOS 3.5.
