Additional AMD RDNA3 & RDNA4 Ray-Tracing Improvements For Mesa 25.2 RADV
Ahead of the Mesa 25.2 feature freeze and code branching expected later this week, some additional ray-tracing optimizations were merged today for the Radeon 'RADV' Vulkan driver
Ahead of the Mesa 25.2 feature freeze and code branching expected later this week, some additional ray-tracing optimizations were merged today for the Radeon "RADV" Vulkan driver. The real kicker though is the performance improvement for end-users with today's merge to Mesa 25.2:"All combined q2rtx for example gets a 14% fps increase on gfx12 in my testing." Around 14% better performance on AMD Radeon RX 9000 series compared to Mesa 25.2-devel up to this point, which already featured a number of ray-tracing optimizations.
