Damn, that was insanely fast, quadruply so compared to Nouveau
It says “ready by the end of 2024” so not quite there yet. Still, a very good development for sure.
Congrats to the devs!
What does this mean for the average user?
A step toward having an nvidia driver that comes with your open source Linux distro
I meant, how is it different than what I had before? What is vulkan 1.0?
Some computer games and other graphics intensive apps are using vulkan, and they will now work with an nvidia card without needing to go get nvidias proprietary driver, which is often buggy due to not being properly tested with your desktop and system in general.
I have been reading news about NVK release 1.0
Only this time I see NVK mentioned as open source Nvidia driver.
