Phoronix: RADV Vulkan Driver Can Now Correctly Render Talos Principle

With all of the RADV Radeon Vulkan activity in the past few weeks, The Talos Principle now renders correctly when using this community-driven Vulkan graphics API driver!..

It is too brightly with vulkan. Where is my results with 7970

WOW WOW WOW! Merge it, this is really no longer "semi-interesting branch"

I am waiting for the day when they will implement a Vulkan renderer for the "Cube" engine (Sauerbraten, tesseract...)

Why replace vkCube with vkQuake? I didn't see one instance of vkCube in the article.

The article was updated.

It also reminded me of the Cube engine, I had fun playing Sauerbraten many years ago.

PS: I wonder if RADV could be used with "virgil 3d" or another-similar-project that is vulkan based.

Lol, it's more like the "super-interesting, please merge it in mesa and turn it on by default branch"

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting this to get so far so soon. I don't fully understand why the development of this is so fast (compared to how OpenGL specs are so slow) but it's cool to see this make so much progress.

Though, I still wonder what to make of the situation when AMD open sources their own Vulkan drivers.

Wow it's already faster than Gallium's OGL.
Apart from the brightness, have you noticed any other con?
