Previously was disabled due to the issues popping up that were difficult to fix.Īs of this release, the work on 20.1 version has begun and it's expected to receive a stable release in May 2020. The recently added Next-Gen Geometry added by AMD for Navi GPUs has been re-enabled. Speaking of ACO, it supports even more shaders and some improvements leaving only Tesselation shaders and OpenGL support for last.ĪMD's Gallium3D driver, RadeonSI, now supports OpenGL 4.6 due to the NIR being enabled and used by default and now uses the 'live shader cache' to reduce the stuttering when compiling shaders in OpenGL games. Owners of AMD graphics card based on GCN 1.0/1.1 architecture can take advantage of Valve's shader compiler made specifically for AMD called ACO, reducing the shader compiling time (which in turn minimizes stuttering) and provide more FPS as a bonus. Additionally Mesa 20.0 now supports Intel's Jasper Lake line of CPUs as well. Owners of Intel's Broadwell line of CPUs or newer will use the new Gallium3D driver codenamed Iris by default, providing better performance and take advantage of Gallium3D features such as the GalliumHUD or even Gallium3D Nine for use with Wine for a native DIrect3D 9 support (Requires Wine Nine Config) compared to the old i965 driver which is still used for older Intel iGPUs.

Mesa 20.0 has been released + 20.1 work has begunĪs stated in the title, Mesa 20.0 has been released which provides the following new features: While this is surprising nice approach it still lacks a specific firmware to deal with poor performance from GTX 900 series to newer and we have yet to receive an open source Vulkan driver which Nouveau still lacks. Signed firmwares for GeForce 16 series (16 series) Will be available in the upcoming Linux kernel 5.7

NVIDIA Format Modifiers - Provide better performance in compressed layers. A lot of interesting stuff has happened in February starting with the most important one.ĭespite the status update report being published which mentions not only some new features which Nouveau received, it also appears that less and less people work on it but then, out of nowhere NVIDIA has stepped in and provided the following contributions to this project
