It doesn’t say anything about performance. But they now support Vulkan with Nouveau, so it can now be used even if OpenGL is not available or broken.
The blog post only me tioned that the driver now supports the GPUs, which I think should be believable, as the GPUs are listed as conformant on Khronos’ website.
If you have had problems with a Wayland compositor when using Nouveau with one of the cards, it is possible that it might work now, if the compositor supports Vulkan.
Vulkan is normally faster than OpenGL, but I don’t know much about the state of NVK & Nouveau’s OpenGL driver for the cards. I just know the API versions they support and that NVK cannot reclock them if Nouveau can’t, so I can’t say anything about performance.
They should all work, though I have no idea how quickly. Khronos lists the GeForce 800, 900, GTX 700, GTX 900, GTX 1000 & TITAN V series GPUs as Vulkan 1.4 conformant with the driver.
Any performance benchmarks or good gains? Better Wayland support would be nice also.
