RADV vs. AMDVLK Radeon Vulkan Ray-Tracing Performance For Mid-2024

When firing up GravityMark first with its reputable Vulkan ray-tracing capabilities, first I ran without RT just for setting the stage... RADV was consistently faster than AMDVLK when run without ray-tracing.
But with ray-tracing enabled, AMDVLK did come out on top and by wide margins over the RADV driver. Mesa's RADV driver has seen a lot of Vulkan ray-tracing work over the past number of months, but it seems the official AMDVLK driver carries the upper-leg for RT workloads.
