Phoronix: Mesa NVK Vulkan Driver Now Declared Vulkan 1.3 Conformant, Mesa 24.1 To Build By Default

It's a big day today in the open-source NVIDIA Nouveau/NVK space... The Mesa NVK driver is now officially declared a Vulkan 1.3 conformant implementation by the Khronos Group! In turn the NVK driver is no longer considered experimental and with Mesa 24.1 will build by default for x86/x86_64-based installations...

👏 awesome

The Khronos listing also shows RTX 2080 Ti as supported and Vulkan 1.3 conformant.

But I just can't get it working with GSP. If I enable NvGspRm=1 on the kernel command line, I get software rendering only, or 3 FPS performance same as without GSP. No error in dmesg

I haven't been on green team for quite a few years now.
How good is nVidia open source stack, compared to closed version ?
Does it support CUDA stuff ?

Wait, so kernel driver is actually open-sourced by nVidia ? Is it part of the official kernel ?

its still pretty garbage. if you want good open source, stick with amd / intel gpu's.

Impressive work from the NVK team.

Maybe with NVK in the future NVIDIA GPUs are going to have proper Wayland support.

No, Nvidia is not behind the Open Source driver, the previous poster was saying Nvidia should pay him for his work.

The open source stack does not include Cuda. I am happy to be wrong about that, though.
