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?

https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/5349/
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.

Use this:I used this for 515.49.14. Just use the custom version and enter the number, select vulkan beta and so on.
https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all
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.

1) Make sure the nvidia vulkan dev/beta drivers are installed
2) Make sure you are opted into the Steam Beta client
3) Use proton-experimental
(Proton-GE im not sure about, if it includes latest DXVK master builds then it should work with it also)

I prefer Proton Experimental + Bleeding Edge , although you also have to keep in mind that if you have a Pascal GPU or earlier, you will still have some stuttering, it is well known that it has compatibility issues with Vulkan from a hardware level.

If only there was a clear guide to install it on Manjaro for a normie like me trying to use Linux.
git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all.git
cd nvidia-all
makepkg -si
and it lets you interactively pick the custom driver number when its not added into the scripts yet.
Spoiler, click me
it gave me this message
"A (correctly made?) linux-headers package can't be found.
If you're sure it's installed, blame your kernel maintainer."
after that it fails the installation
do you have any idea?
update 1: I am trying to update the kernel to a more recent release, let's see
Update 2 : I also installed the headers required with the new kernel, now the installation did not gave me any error, except it asks to resolve some "conflict" where I answered always "yes", now Linux won't arrive in the DE session... Lol.
update 3 another shot
:: nvidia-dev-dkms-tkg and linux515-nvidia are in conflict (nvidia). Remove linux515-nvidia? [y/N]
what the heck I am suppose to do, these are the kind of thing that make me think that i should be just a windows user

Well I bought a 3080ti and just want to play apex legends without stutters....and old-and-solid driver version is simply not an option. Sorry for point it out on "GamingonLinux"what the heck I am suppose to do, these are the kind of thing that make me think that i should be just a windows userIn my case, that's the kind of thing that sees me sticking to Mint and not worrying about latest-and-greatest versions of things.

linux515-nvidia what is that? Is that not Arch package or something? Could be problem with the distro packages you have. Probably packaged differently.
Never experienced issues with this tkg installer.
Ahh ye. it seems manjaro.. i thought they have driver packages from arch. but it seems they are doing their own thing with those...

The problem is ,if I am not "installing" this headers the installation blames the kernel that have not the headers.
If I install it , then it will complain that there is a conflict, wich I answer "ok resolve the conflict" and then bum at the reboot no DE, now I am following this guide let's see if something change
