👁 Quake II RTX benchmark with settings of Resolution: 3840 x 2160, Global Illumination: Off, Denoiser: Off, Ray Tracing API: VK_KHR_ray_query. Proprietary: RTX 4090 was the fastest.

👁 Quake II RTX benchmark with settings of Resolution: 3840 x 2160, Global Illumination: High, Denoiser: Off, Ray Tracing API: VK_NV_ray_tracing. Open: RTX 4090 was the fastest.

👁 Quake II RTX benchmark with settings of Resolution: 3840 x 2160, Global Illumination: Off, Denoiser: On, Ray Tracing API: VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline. Proprietary: RTX 4090 was the fastest.

With Vulkan ray-tracing using Quake II RTX was no real change in performance when switching to the open kernel driver.

👁 Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2560 x 1440, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Ultra, Renderer: OpenGL. Open: RTX 4090 was the fastest.

👁 FurMark benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Demo: FurMark OpenGL, MSAA: 8. Proprietary: RTX 4090 was the fastest.
