Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

GL-vs-VK 2017-06-05

Test: Static Scene - API: Vulkan - Multi-Threaded: Yes

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 89 public results since 5 June 2017 with the latest data as of 7 March 2024.

Additional benchmark metrics will come after OpenBenchmarking.org has collected a sufficient data-set.
