NVK Driver Nearing Vulkan 1.1 For NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 & Newer

Jump

  • And the relevant Merge Request got merged!

    NVK now supports Vulkan 1.1 lesgooooooooo!

    • TR1X (formerly Tomb1Main), open source re-implementation of Tomb Raider (1996), releases version 3.0 with Linux support (Linked version: 3.0.2)

    Jump

  • No problem at all!

    BTW, that should be either “the” or “said”. Not both.

    Me when I am not a native English speaker. Should be fixed now, thanks for the heads up!

  • Have you tried extracting everything in game.gog into the folder where you put the TR1X files? From there you only optionally need to download the music (https://lostartefacts.dev/aux/tr1x/music.zip) and put em to the same folder, and then just run TR1X.

    While the explanations are indeed more Windows focused, the advanced installation should cover Linux as well.

    • I'm probably going to get a lot of explanations in the comments

  • This one literally runs on Quake 1 engine (albeit improved)

  • The result? A perfectly valid and valuable technology has been completely disregarded by the public

    No. Stop. If blockchain, nfts, etc. had actual merit over what we already have rn, they would be used everywhere. But ever since the inception of the og blockchain, they do not. Because there is not a single actual use case of them that isn't already done (and done better) by other tech.

    So stop this "oh it was good, just misunderstood" nonsense. It was never good, and never will be.

  • What AI does lands more on "tracing" side than "referencing" side though

  • Yes, but that license change took them quite a while after the first release of the open kernel module, and still, that's only for the GSP firmware. Nothing of the sort is the case for the PMU firmware that could be used for Maxwell and Pascal*.

    (*Fun fact, there is actually some code for power management for Maxwell series at least (not upstreamed I presume), Nouveau devs even demonstrated NVK via playing Hollow Knight on a GTX950m, which ran the game pretty smoothly, the main issue seems to be not being able to control the fans of the GPU due to the firmware, something that was not really a problem for the particular laptop they've done the demonstration on)

    Edit: My bad, it was a GTX980m instead: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@gfxstrand/110311684373260454

    • How dare you mention upsides of Wayland or systemd

  • And that said one guy is actually an alt account of someone who was banned a long time ago, so the guy is literally evading a ban, and yet Michael is doing jack shit about it. Guess it works on his end as it is "hurr durr interaction".

  • Tbh all nVidia should've done was to make their firmware available and easily redistributable. Them locking down their hardware down to the firmware level is what killed the development of Nouveau.

    They don't need to step up to the plate, just don't block the guys who are willing to do the necessary work themselves
