Similar to what I have seen with other Radeon testing on Mesa 25.2, most software just relying on OpenGL or Vulkan are largely flat over Mesa 25.0/25.1.
The more significant difference comes down to Vulkan ray-tracing where the RADV performance continues to evolve quite nicely. RADV ray-tracing used to be far behind the AMDVLK driver but has been catching up rather well in recent months thanks to the work of Valve, AMD, Red Hat, and other developers.
Quake II RTX also shows off some of the RADV ray-tracing performance improvements for the AMD Radeon graphics with the upcoming Mesa 25.2 release.
