Serious Sam 3: BFE with Vulkan is significantly faster on both systems than with the OpenGL renderer.
The frame-rates were substantially higher with Serious Sam 3 BFE on Vulkan while the CPU usage this time was similar to the OpenGL results.
When stressing the hardware by pushing Serious Sam 3: BFE to ultra quality settings, the NVIDIA Vulkan performance was faster than OpenGL while the RX 560 favored the more mature RadeonSI OpenGL driver rather than RADV Vulkan.
The CPU usage was slightly higher this time with Vulkan than OpenGL.
