After the reports about improvements to Zink (and NIR/RADV by Mike Blumenkrantz) I was interested to try this version. In a quite unscientific test with XCOM 2 I'm getting much lower RAM usage (up to maybe 50%) and much quicker load times. Just a small regression with some flickering textures but there are reports in Mesa already about flickering in RADV.

Edit: I'm not using Zink; the game's debug info reports 3D renderer as D3D11 so likely it's going through a DXVK->RADV path.
