And some Quake II RTX results for further looking at the NVIDIA R580 performance on Blackwell compared to the AMD RDNA4 graphics cards on RADV Mesa 26.0-devel.

👁 Ray Tracing In Vulkan benchmark with settings of Resolution: 3840 x 2160, Scene: Ray Tracing In One Weekend. RTX 5090 was the fastest.

The open-source Ray Tracing In Vulkan benchmark also shows NVIDIA Blackwell's dominating lead for Vulkan ray-tracing performance on Linux -- well, when not using the Nouveau / NVK driver due to its current lack of RT support.
