With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 1080p ultra quality settings, no real changes in performance to note.
But when running Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 4K with low quality settings, there was a performance drop following Linux 4.18 that does remain with DRM-Next... That's putting the Vega 64 performance in this scenario around the speed of the Polaris card.
Dota 2 with OpenGL saw no real changes just some minor fluctuations on the Vega GPU but were within the margin of error.
But at least Dota 2 with Vulkan sees the RX Vega 64 trying to squeeze out a few more frames on DRM-Next.
Mad Max on the Vega GPU was also seeing some slight performance improvements with DRM-Next.
