Well, seriously, AMD just confirms Vulkan driver, and everyone just continues program as usual - complain about something This is very very welcome news, also Future in open source - YES! That's news I wanted to hear. Please fix your drivers AMD, and you will be our friend again.

For Vulkan, Gallium makes no sense because they're both low level GPU abstraction interfaces, and I'd say Vulkan is even lower level than Gallium, which doesn't expose explicit command buffer building and submitting at all.

Supposedly there should be no problems when the radeon gpu renders "fast enough", but even tesseract (just an example) at 100+fps produces very annoying graphical hickups with DRI3.

On the other hand, what nine did with thread_submit works a lot better. Maybe it won't be such a big problem with a new driver.

Tonga 285 here hopefully I will be alive to see an opensource full power vulkan and openGL 4.5 driver! Cause Catalyst is like our economics here in Greece... A total mess.
But please AMD show as some actual stuff, I mean AMDGPU does not have reclocking yet, Catalyst performs awfully on VI cards and you are talking about full Vulkan closed then open?
Seems like a midnight summer dream to me... I pray to be wrong here.
