Phoronix: Khronos UK's Vulkan Slides/Videos Now Available

Last week Khronos UK hosted an event in Cambridge all about Vulkan, including talks by some game developers from the likes of Feral and Croteam. For those that didn't catch the livestream, the slide decks and video recordings are now available...

On the gaming on Linux site they had the slides up for the Feral/Mad Max talk. The biggest surprise to me was that radv performed as well (technically, it was slightly behind, but it wasn't a big delta) as amdgpu-pro. The biggest disappointment was that it was still slower than gl (for amd 480) in all scenes save Tyrant Landing (of whatever it's called). Nvidia, otoh, was nearly always a good bit faster with vulkan than gl.
I wonder if feral did most of their devel on Nvidia. That's interesting because they mentioned a feature that amd had but nvidia lacked ("AMD has device-local and host-visible memory types"), while they made use of at least one vendor specific extension (vk_nv_dedicated_allocation). Perhaps the talk will address these issues in more detail.
