Initial Linux Gaming/Graphics Performance For The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
3DMark Wild Life Extreme that is native to Linux with Vulkan API use saw the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti matching the Radeon RX 7700 XT performance at 4K but with much better performance-per-Watt.
The NVIDIA graphics cards with their driver stack continue to enjoy much stronger Vulkan ray-tracing performance than AMD graphics cards, especially when using the Mesa RADV driver. RADV ray-tracing improvements continue to be made but NVIDIA easily wins here for the time being.
When ray-tracing was disabled and running GPUScore: Breaking Limit, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB was achieving similar performance to the Radeon RX 7800 XT.
The NVIDIA RTX 50 Blackwell graphics cards were enjoying much better performance-per-Watt too.
For those dealing still with a lot of OpenGL software in demanding simulations or older games, etc, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti was performing similar to the Radeon RX 7700 XT within Unigine Superposition. While the raw performance was similar between the RX 7700 XT and RTX 5060 Ti, this new Blackwell graphics card delivered much better performance-per-Watt over the AMD competition.
