Mesa NVK Driver Merges Compression Support For Better Performance
Está mejorando muy rápido el controlador @vulkan para #NVIDIA en #Mesa3D. Los amigos de #Phoronix lo han comparado con el ultimo controlador oficial de NVIDIA.
No es descabellado pensar que un futuro próximo NVIDIA tenga su controlador #Nova para nivel núcleo y #NVK para #Vulkan en Mesa. Al estilo de #AMD e #Intel.
