Shout out to #NVIDIA for finally producing a usable, playable, tear-free GPU experience on #Wayland#Linux, only 3 short years after I paid a lot of money for my RTX3070 laptop! #NVK did it first though! I have GRUB set up to be able to select between the two drivers and am excited to see both of them progressing. NVIDIA 555 Beta drivers with the nvidia-beta AUR package.
#NVK news: Support for DRM format modifiers has landed & will be part of the upcoming Mesa 24.1 release It's last piece required to support GameScope and is important to making Zink+NVK a robust #OpenGL solution. Read more: http://col.la/drmnvk#NVIDIA#Vulkan#OpenSource
If you're playing around with #NVK and want to post videos or screenshot, please use the #NVK hashtag. I love seeing people having fun! I also tend to boost them. 😁
I tried using NVK and zink instead of the proprietary NVIDIA driver today. I have to say it works very well and i can finally use wayland without some ugly glitches. Very cool.
#NVK is now ready for prime time! The merge request has landed, the non-conformant implementation warnings are gone & NVK is coming to your favorite #Linux distro! Here's the latest from @gfxstrandhttps://col.la/nvkpt
Here is is, the first NVK vs Nvidia video that I know of. NVK is about 55% the speed of Nvidia in this one. Not too shabby at all for an unreleased, experimental still, driver!
Final Fantasy VII Remake works flawlessly and pumps out 40+ FPS (in non-crowded areas) in 4K in NVK! The dream is coming true at an exceedingly fast pace!
📢 New blog post! 👉 One of the key high-level challenges of building Mesa drivers these days is figuring out how to best share code between a #Vulkan driver and a Gallium driver. @gfxstrand explains how: https://col.la/codesharing#NVK
