Linux Gaming Performance With Radeon Vulkan NGG Culling

[Venemo]

Shrug, maybe it can promote less stuttering or minimal fps in games? or in certain unique cases where a game renders too much off scene due to bad design or bug? I known a few games that appeared to have that issue.

It is beneficial in games that render a lot of primitives, where the fixed-function culling becomes a bottleneck. What this does is remove triangles in the shader so the fixed-function hardware has less work to do.

This is going to be extremely useful for the Steam Deck console, since it runs games at 800p, the loss on quality won't be as pronounced.

Phoronix: Linux Gaming Performance With Radeon Vulkan NGG Culling

The newest performance optimization merged this week for Mesa's "RADV" Radeon Vulkan open-source driver is NGG culling for Navi 1x/2x graphics cards. NGG Culling "NGGC" isn't enabled by default at this time but can be easily activated and depending upon the software under test can provide some minor performance gains on top of all the other optimizations seen in recent times for RADV.
