Many NGG Improvements Arrive For AMD's Open-Source Linux OpenGL/Vulkan Drivers
Well known AMD Mesa developer Marek Olšák has been working on a number of improvements to benefit the Next-Gen Geometry 'NGG' support within the RadeonSI and RADV graphics drivers for benefiting modern Radeon GPUs under Linux.
The NGG support continues to be improved upon for the AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D and RADV Vulkan driver code within Mesa for this modern geometry pipeline on RDNA GPUs. Yet to be merged but currently being reviewed is the third part providing "major changes" to NGG for the RADV Vulkan driver along with enabling more culling and clipping/culling optimizations. It will be interesting to see the net performance impact for these NGG improvements to the OpenGL and Vulkan AMD Linux drivers once all of the code is merged.
