Talos Principle as the original Vulkan game launch title was playable on NVK but still much better performance when using the NVIDIA packaged driver stack.

👁 DDraceNetwork benchmark with settings of Resolution: 3840 x 2160, Mode: Fullscreen, Renderer: OpenGL 3.3, Zoom: Default, Demo: RaiNyMore2. NVIDIA: RTX 4080 SUPER was the fastest.

👁 Tesseract benchmark with settings of Resolution: 3840 x 2160. NVIDIA: RTX 4080 SUPER was the fastest.

Even with open-source games that are lighter-weight using the Nouveau+Mesa code was a great deal slower than using the NVIDIA R575 packaged driver.
