Inspired by the Unigine Superposition thread, I've decided to create one for the new Basemark GPU benchmark, complete with leaderboards :)
Download the software [here](https://www.basemark.com/products/basemark-gpu/). Arch Linux users might prefer my [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/basemark) instead.
Rules:
I will maintain separate leaderboards for OpenGL and Vulkan.
OpenGL Leader Board

4K is bit hard for GPU like this. 1080p or 1440p is more suitable on GPU's below GTX 1080 or Vega 64
Ryzen 7 1700X @3.8ghz
GTX 1070 396.24.02 drivers, core offset +100, mem offset +300
just for fun a more suitable for this GPU - 2560x1440 result:

now Vulkan minimum seems to be better also. Also i noticed that Vulkan rendering doesnt use CPU allmost at all, just 0.9-1.5% while with openGL i see over 6% of usage (thats not htop numbers but from 100% with 16 thread)
However I'm really surprised about the notable difference between OpenGL and Vulcan.
You can see my system in my PC Info profile. Everything is running stock. Only exception are the memory modules with does NOT run with their performance profile and clocked defensively to provide maximum stability. I'm not into OC at all.

I find the lack of AMD (vega) results disturbing and I'd like to fix that.

EDIT: OK finally managed to test the new release. No Vulkan option and a worse OpenGL score for me :(

What kind of score difference are you seeing ?
