Hello everyone, welcome to my channel.

In today's video, I am benchmarking Mesa Radv and AMDVLK in The Alters on CachyOS on the medium preset at 1080p. FSR is set to quality, and this bench, the frame gen is off. Both of them work out of the box, but the clear winner is RADV, with more FPS, and the game feels smoother too. I didn't experience any graphical artefact on either of them, tho. So the clear winner is RADV.

AMDVLK: 2025.Q2.1
