Quoting: WorMzyI'm going to go out on a limb and guess they aren't going to announce that they're open sourcing their Linux driver and/or co-operating fully with the nouveau developers to make the open source driver feature complete.

Would be nice to be surprised....

Actual huang sadness about opensource collaboration



Back to topic if ampere is successfull maybe big navi could dont be out and leave for rdna 3 next year

Them stay suffer consequences of dont innovate own cpus, only use same core with more frecuencies at max

But now actual development is cleary insufficient

Personally stay waiting for zen 3 and possible jump to amd in next cpu

Quoting: Alm888It is nice that after a year he decided to lend a hand to WINE team (especially considering the team have tragically lost its key graphics developer), but DXVK is still his pet-project and wine-dxvk is a fork. And I am against forks.

Wine devs normally are very closed circle, is difficult allow entry to new developers (specially when can affect in many ways some parts case wined3d with dxvk)

But actually them dont accept dxvk (wine programming standar issue, dxvk use C++ and wine dont accept that)

However package is optional, but as gamer wined3d is a dead horse and d9vk/dxvk is possible use many games with very good performance and features case vsync (this give troubles in wined3d)

Another thing is d9vk/dxvk use cpu in better way (better multithreading) than wined3d

Without forget time to resolve bugs in wined3d compared dxvk, dxvk is more proactive in this matter, personally i dont want give support to wined3d for wait years to solve bugs or in other cases stay as non resolved or abandonen

Actually them stay working on own vulkan solution but when appear will be late because dxvk stay some time ago without forget performance (possible worst in wine vulkan implementation)

Quoting: massatt212Does it have New Nvenc on Linux ?

in my case use this:

Video Codec SDK 10

https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk/download

What's new in Video Codec SDK 10

New NVENC presets (H.264 - HEVC) for improved flexibility and granularity
Finer control of rate control modes
Use-case Setting (also referred to as Tuning information)
NVDEC Support for GA100

Quoting: Beamboom... and yet another bloody weird case of Nvidia versioning.

Just recently they released a new STABLE driver version 450.57. Subversion 57 of the 450 driver.

... And now they continue with a new beta, version 450.56.01?! So like, this is a new driver that's a beta of the version prior to the stable 450.57??

WTF?

for vulkan this driver is better than stable

doutsujin from discord:

Quotecan confirm that the vertex buffer stuff is fixed

This driver give with more updated vulkan version according json file:



{
"file_format_version" : "1.0.0",
"ICD": {
"library_path": "libGLX_nvidia.so.0",
"api_version" : "1.2.145"
}
}

Almost forget this driver works with cuda 11 - nvenc sdk 10 and lastest ffmpeg git

Quoting: jensI would love to know which version of the Vulkan branch got merged into this one.
Is `VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state` already included (from 440.66.17)? If not, is this version suitable for RDR2 (like 440.66.15)?

according nvidia json file lastest driver stay a bit outdated compared vulkan beta driver:

450.51

"file_format_version" : "1.0.0",
"ICD": {
"library_path": "libGLX_nvidia.so.0",
"api_version" : "1.2.133"

440.66.17

"file_format_version" : "1.0.0",
"ICD": {
"library_path": "libGLX_nvidia.so.0",
"api_version" : "1.2.145"
