AMDVLK did maintain a small lead over RADV for the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme native Linux benchmark... Perhaps due to AMD tuning 3DMark driver performance quite a bit for Windows.

👁 DDraceNetwork benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Mode: Fullscreen, Renderer: Vulkan, Zoom: Default, Demo: RaiNyMore2. AMDVLK 2025.Q2.1 was the fastest.

With the open-source DDraceNetwork platformer game the AMDVLK driver had a narrow lead in some of the configurations tested.

👁 Quake II RTX benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2880 x 1800, Global Illumination: Low, Denoiser: On, RT API: VK_KHR_ray_query. Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS - Mesa 24.2 was the fastest.

Like with the GravityMark Ray-Tracing results, with Quake II RTX it was very exciting to see RADV performing similar to AMDVLK for this additional Vulkan ray-tracing title. In some areas AMDVLK still had a narrow lead but it was much closer than what we had been seeing for years with RADV ray-tracing previously having been rather unoptimized.
