Phoronix: NVIDIA DXR Ray-Tracing Support For Pascal GPUs Does Include Vulkan Support

As has been expected the past several weeks, NVIDIA rolled out a driver update today providing DXR ray-tracing support going back to non-RTX Pascal GPUs.

Not gonna happen any time soon. Godot is still very much focused on OpenGL ES.

Godot 4.0 is targeting Vulkan. This article discusses the migration: https://godotengine.org/article/aban...lkan-and-gles2
