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

Besides Vulkan games, a few basic Vulkan compute benchmarks were also working on the NVK Mesa driver... But again, the performance is extremely limited due to being stuck at the low boot clock frequencies for these graphics cards.

At least more Vulkan extensions continue being implemented on a near-daily basis for the NVK driver along with other Vulkan driver bring-up work... The Red Hat folks working on NVIDIA GSP support are making progress to overcome the serious performance issues.

The GSP support will also enable the RTX 40 series to work on the open-source Nouveau driver stack.

So that's the quick overview of the NVK Vulkan driver performance for now. Once the NVIDIA GSP support is in good shape and on its way to mainline, I'll certainly run more benchmarks and for a wider range of games and other Vulkan-enabled software.
