NVK Now Vulkan 1.4 Conformant For NVIDIA Maxwell GPUs
Mesa's NVK Vulkan driver had been Vulkan 1.4 conformant for Turing and newer GPUs, but now with Mesa 25.2-devel it's Vulkan 1.4 conformant going back to Maxwell GPUs
This change is exported to be back-ported to the upcoming Mesa 25.1 release as well for those interested in using this open-source NVIDIA Vulkan driver. NVK lead developer Faith Ekstrand landed this merge today to Mesa Git advertising Vulkan 1.4 conformance for NVIDIA Maxwell GPUs. Making the GeForce GTX 750 series interesting for open-source users with Nouveau + NVK is still the ability to easily re-clock those graphics cards as the "Maxwell 1" parts are the last NVIDIA GPUs not requiring signed firmware images.
