The DiRT Rally OpenGL-powered racing game on Linux is quite relaxed with modern GPUs even at 4K and higher quality visual settings. In this game with Mesa 19.0, the RX Vega 64 actually does very well and comes out 9% faster than the GTX 1080 where as in a number of other games we don't usually see such advantage on the red side.

With F1 2017, the RX Vega 64 comes in a few frames shy of the GTX 1080 but two frames ahead of the RTX 2060.

When pushing ultra high quality settings for F1 2017, which is a native Linux game port, the RTX 2060 / GTX 1080 / RX Vega 64 remains above a 60 FPS average and their minimum frame-rates hovering around that important mark.

With F1 2018 it runs on Linux via Steam Play with DXVK for mapping D3D11 to Vulkan.

With low quality settings at 4K, the GTX 1070 and even RX 590 were averaging above the 60 FPS mark.
