Phoronix: AMDVLK 2020.Q1.1 Brings Some Performance Tuning, Still On Vulkan 1.1

Out this morning is AMDVLK 2020.Q1.1 as AMD's first official open-source Vulkan driver code drop of the new year...

Hopefully their next code drop will have the Vulkan 1.2 support officially exposed.

Isn't that already done?

• Update Vulkan headers to 1.1.130/1.2.131
• Implementation of VK 1.2 support (could be enabled by USE_NEXT_SDK)

Sounds like it is disabled by default, so I don't think that counts as "officially exposed."

IIRC, both radv and AMDVLK require sync object timeline support which did not get enabled upstream until 5.5 due to waiting for the NDA lift on the vulkan extensions. I think amdvlk was waiting for 5.5 to release before officially turning it on.
