The rapid expansion of NVK is truly remarkable!
I've completed some tests (though I can't share them on Peertube) and OW2 achieves over 100 FPS in certain areas. This update comes without the new MR, which implements Vulkan 1.1 properly. After merging, DXVK versions up to 1.10.3 will function out of the box. I want to highlight that the initial announcement about NVK was made last March. Eight months later, the improvements are impressive. Next year we might even run full FOSS Nvidia drivers on Linux with FSR 3.0 for upscaling. Plus, everything else runs smoothly on Nouveau+NVK—from Plasma 6 to Sleep and VRR. The FOSS team has made remarkable progress quickly. The only issue so far is HDR in Plasma 6, but the developers will likely address it soon. I'm really excited; there are so many positive developments in Light Speed that I struggle to keep up!

Overwatch 2 merge proposal (generally acceptable for most users here) This is related to gitlab/dev tools, so it's not widely known outside that context. AMD's DLSS feature focuses on variable refresh rate. As a gaming community hub, these points are fairly standard. No need to clarify further—this is just a reference to NVIDIA and Vulkan names. https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/...g-nvk.html https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

01-08-2023, 01:28 AM #9I'm a software developer too, and I wasn't aware that MR stands for "merge request." We typically use PR (Pull Request) instead, which is what GitHub refers to. This could be partly because we work in an industry where MR means "Make Ready" – the time and effort needed to prepare a machine. It might get confusing if we exchanged messages about MR related to a task involving "Make Ready."

01-08-2023, 01:28 AM #10Sure, I get what you mean. MR is quite GitLab-focused, so if you haven’t used it yet, it’s reasonable to become familiar with it now. It actually makes more sense in this context than PR, since you’re merging rather than pulling.
