Looking at the OpenCL performance with NVK using the Rusticl driver, the copy and write performance was quite close between the competing drivers while the NVIDIA 580 driver offered OpenCL read memory performance multiple times faster.
With Project PhysX's OpenCL benchmark showed a number of areas where NVK / Rusticl can still be better optimized compared to the official NVIDIA Linux driver.
