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 have been reading news about NVK release 1.0
Only this time I see NVK mentioned as open source Nvidia driver.
I wonder if the open source driver will ever be able to replicate quite advanced features such as frame generation.
DLSS is easy enough - make the driver have a generic hook compatible with the Windows DLL, which Proton already can use.
But frame generation? It actually requires the driver to intercept quite a lot of calls from the game engine.
