AMD Radeon With Linux 6.1 + Mesa 23.0-dev vs. NVIDIA R525 Gaming Performance

DiRT Rally 2 is another racing game that has long been performing well with Steam Play on Linux and continues seeing very healthy competition between the closed-source NVIDIA driver stack and the latest upstream open-source Radeon driver code.

When testing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with its OpenGL renderer, the Radeon performance with the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver is particularly strong where the RX 6800 / RX 6800 XT continue to outperform the GeForce RTX 3090.

With Counter-Strike: GO's Vulkan code path is where the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090 return to the top spot but by a very thin margin.
