VCN5 AV1 Encode & More AMD RDNA4 RADV Support Land In Mesa 24.2


It's been another busy week with the open-source AMD Linux graphics driver stack with continued preparations around enabling support for next-generation RDNA4 graphics (as well as continued RDNA3+ / RDNA 3.5 tuning).

Marek Olsak for GFX12 with RadeonSI opened a merge request adding GFX12 delta color compression (DCC) support, fixes, and other clean-ups for the next-gen GPUs. At this speed, hopefully by the Mesa 24.2 stable release in August will have nice support for these upcoming Radeon graphics cards. 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.
