It would be helpful to see a
https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org dump for the current version of NVK, reaching conformance with Vulkan 1.3 core is an important milestone but Vulkan has an
enormous number of optional features which a conformant implementation technically doesn't have to support, and in practice Vulkan applications usually don't bother to target core as a baseline, especially on desktop where there's a massive gulf between what core requires and what the hardware can actually do.

I fell behind on the progress here. Could someone explain:
- does the nouveau driver these days allow enabling higher power/speed?
- how would I switch between the OpenGL and Zink implementations when running an app today?

Is this work only for Desktop GPUs or would this work well for laptops too?
Especially ones with optimus/whatever they have these days...

This is honestly pretty huge. I'm hoping this will seriously improve the Nvidia situation on the linux desktop in the long run! I'll probably always need the proprietary driver for cuda though

Congrats to Mesa developers and Linux gamers who are still stuck with Nvidia hardware. That's a big milestone!

Does this mean Wayland will finally work right on NVidia hardware?

> As of today NVK is now a conformant Vulkan 1.3 implementation on Turing (RTX 2000 and GTX 1600 series), Ampere (RTX 3000 series), and Ada (RTX 4000 series) GPUs
Looking sadly at my Pascal GPU

Who is the audience for a driver option for an NVIDIA GPU that isn’t the officially supported one from NVIDIA?
