Phoronix: RADV Radeon Vulkan Code Enables More Driver Features

The RADV Radeon Vulkan driver in Mesa has seen some activity last night to enable more fine-grained features...

When RADV manages to run DOOM on Wine, it will be huge, huge milestone.

I believe the saying is - "No Tux No Bux!". That is to say, buying Windows only games inflates that platform and gives the developers the wrong impression so never release Linux ports..

FFS, they should finally release for Linux. Would be great for testing those drivers, too.
I'm not buying it while it still is on windows only for no reason.

I think the texture compression stuff is probably the most important stuff (performance wise) if you're running at higher resolutions, correct?

While I would love to see native Doom, having it as another title to test radv (even if on wine) is a good thing.

Are there any plans for a VulkanFeature.txt file like the Feature.txt for Mesa/OpenGL (see http://www.mesamatrix.net/)?

Great article, very insightful.

as a member of the 1% (os install) club - I am more than happy to apply a work around or two.
