    Finally. RADV has had it for a year. Maybe the Windows driver now, too?

      AMD should just ditch all these drivers and ship MESA drivers instead. They tend to be much better maintained anyway and all AMD would have to do is maintain a corresponding windows kernel driver for the MESA userspace libraries to plug into. With vulkan that kernel driver could be very thin and then they could just run zink and everything else on top. Massive reduction in effort by AMD and massive improvement in quality. Just redirect the money to companies like colabora who are doing the real work.
