That’s good, but:
Support for older GPUs such as Kepler, Maxwell, and Pascal might not come to NVK that easily, because of how the kernel is being developed. It might have a hard dependency on the new kernel, resulting in support for newer GPUs only.
Depends on how old is “older”
I looked up mine, a 1050Ti. It is Pascal.
Damn, so I guess 1060 wouldn’t be part of this either
Yeah that is Pascal too. Maybe eventually but I expect it won’t be a top priority.
Probably not so surprising given its 8/9 years old at this stage. Hard enough for this sort of project to get off the ground in the first place let alone supporting nearly 10 year old hardware (despite the ongoing popularity of the 10 series, it is old).
That’s a good news. Vulkan being lower level than opengl, I’m surprise it didn’t start sooner.
