The RadeonSI Gallium3D driver in Mesa hasn't received much in the way of optimizations for Unigine Superposition and it seems to show with the Windows 10 driver stack running faster than Ubuntu 17.04 with either AMDGPU+RadeonSI driver configuration.

But with the more demanding Unigine Superposition test cases, the Linux OpenGL results did end up being close to Windows 10.
