    Initial Benchmarks Of The "NVK" Open-Source NVIDIA Vulkan Driver

    Phoronix: Initial Benchmarks Of The "NVK" Open-Source NVIDIA Vulkan Driver

    With the in-development NVK driver merged for Mesa 23.3 to provide open-source NVIDIA Vulkan API support when paired with the Nouveau kernel driver and the necessary Nouveau kernel driver improvements coming with Linux 6.6 for supporting this driver, Phoronix readers have been eager for some benchmarks... Well, here are some benchmarks on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 and RTX 30 series when comparing the latest NVK+Nouveau code compared to the proprietary NVIDIA Linux graphics driver stack.

    Want a fair comparison? Run the NVIDIA driver at boot clock speeds.

        Might be interesting to see Zink + NVK vs the standard Nouveau OpenGL.

        Thanks Michael <3

          Even with reclocking it would still suck, the driver is missing proper ubo support until the compiler is rewritten, which is a major slowdown. I also expect zcull to be the other speedup to workout.

            What will be the difference between open driver which NVIDIA opened and testing right now? Both will be open.

              Not someone that has used it but AFAIK it wasnt a complete driver when opensourced - atleast the display bits of it were eithe experimental or alpha quality (if present). This may have changed in the year since.

                Do we have any info on how they compare when the card is forced to the lowest clock speeds on both drivers? That seems like it would be a more fair comparison. Regardless, I expect performance will improve leaps and bounds with the GSP support patches. Can't wait.

                  Nvidia is a waste of time and resources... thats the reason why i chose to buy a AMD Radeon PRO W7900 48GB (price 4000€) for the workstation that i build in the next days.

                    They only open sourced the kernel component, not the userspace components (OpenGL, Vulkan, CUDA).
