NVIDIA has released the latest update to their special Vulkan Beta Driver, for developers and users who want to test out the very-latest stuff. Designed mostly for developers, normal every-day users should probably just stick to the regular driver
Here's what's added / changed in version 515.49.14:
- New:
- VK_EXT_attachment_feedback_loop_layout
- Added support for chaining VkShaderModuleCreateInfo when creating compute and ray tracing pipelines
- Fixes:
- Don't read pipeline state when it's not valid for the pipeline library stage
- Fixed issue clearing 3D depth images where the end slice(s) weren't cleared completely
- Fixed an issue where Vulkan applications would crash when running under Wayland
- open-gpu-kernel-modules release:
VK_EXT_attachment_feedback_loop_layout is a new extension worked on by people from Valve, Collabora, Google, Igalia, Samsung and Arm. As the official spec reads:
"This extension adds a new image layout, VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_ATTACHMENT_FEEDBACK_LOOP_OPTIMAL_EXT, which allows applications to have an image layout in which they are able to both render to and sample/fetch from the same subresource of an image in a given render pass."

It's fashionable these days to bash Nvidia and love AMD, but you gotta hand it to them, they are always the first to support every extension. Internally (to the Vulkan workgroup), I can also attest that Nvidia is always on top of things, more so than any other vendor I'd say.

Nice. Been using the 515.49.10 since it was made available and its been amazing with the DXVK's graphics pipeline library (..AKA the Stutter free experience™)
Now installed this one, lets see how this will handle everything :P

I'm also happy with my Nvidia and probably would buy one again.
You've got internal insights there?

AFAIK you don't have to disable Steam shader cache anymore but I may be wrong.

git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all.git
cd nvidia-all
makepkg -siand it lets you interactively pick the custom driver number when its not added into the scripts yet.
Spoiler, click me

Looks like 515.49.14 is not added yet, last commit is a week old.

Any specific things to do to enable the Stutter free experience™? Can I just go with Proton Experimental or GE-Proton?

Yes, I'm (a small) part of the WG. Those extensions Liam reports as "Collabora did for Zink", usually it's me who did them for ANGLE, lol.
That reminds me, I should finally fix my handle in the spec, at some point I realized it's meant to be my github
handle, but never got around to it.
