AMD NGG Improvements Make It Into Mesa 25.2 Ahead Of Next Week's Code Branching


Last week I wrote about a number of patches coming out of AMD for Next-Gen Geometry 'NGG' improvements to the AMD OpenGL and Vulkan drivers for Linux

All four merge requests are now in Mesa Git in time for the 25.2 branching and stable release in August. The third part merged since the prior article brings RADV performance optimizations with enabling more functionality. The next round of AMD Radeon graphics benchmarks on Phoronix will likely be shortly after the Mesa 25.2 code branching as we wait to see what more feature work may get squeezed in over the next few days.
