Phoronix: Radeon Open-Source Vulkan Driver Enables Ray Queries By Default

What started out as hopes of enabling RADV ray-tracing by default has led to initially ray queries being enabled by default...

I'm very confused, so the ray query support is now enabled by default in the "RADV_PERFTEST=rt" variable and previously had it's own flag?
Or what does enabled by default mean?

I'd read it as "enabled without the need to set RADV_PERFTEST", but also not sure if I understood it correctly.

You got the info in the article backwards. The "force_emulate_rt" variable was removed/renamed to "emulate_rt".
