When starting things off with Unigine Superposition at 1440p and low quality settings, the GeForce GTX 1070 (non-Ti) is tied with the Radeon RX Vega 64. In this particular case the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is 14% faster than the GTX 1070 / RX Vega 64 while the GTX 1080 comes out as 8% faster than this new GPU.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at 1440p on Linux is fairly CPU bound still with a Core i7 8700K Coffee Lake processor. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is right in line with the rest of the high-end Pascal cards but the purpose of showing this measurement is that the RadeonSI frame-rates are still lower than NVIDIA in these bound scenarios.

When running Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at 4K is where the higher-end GPUs are able to shine. The Radeon RX Vega 56/64 with the current Linux driver run in between the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 Ti while now the GTX 1070 Ti jumps in just below the GTX 1080. The GTX 1070 Ti with CS:GO at 4K ends up being 33% faster than the GTX 1070 and 12% faster than the RX Vega 64.

With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at both 1440p and 4K with different quality settings, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes in at one step above the Radeon RX Vega 64 with the current Linux drivers.
