Experimental Code Gets Open-Source Mesa RADV Vulkan Driver Running On Windows
Over the years there have been various attempts at getting the open-source RADV Vulkan driver on Windows, Faith Ekstrand of Collabora has been recently hacking on it and achieving success for having this popular Radeon Vulkan API driver for Linux working under Windows.
For less than $4 USD per month, you can help support our site while the funds generated allow us to keep doing Linux hardware reviews, performance benchmarking, maintain our community forums, and much more. Faith recently opened up a Mesa merge request providing Vulkan WDDM2 (Windows Display Driver Model 2.0) device support. It will be interesting to see how far this work goes and how fruitful it will be as well as ultimately how well RADV performs on Windows relative to the official AMD Radeon Software Vulkan driver.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
