With the Linux 7.3 kernel release cycle approaching, the open-source NVIDIA graphics driver Nouveau is receiving a significant update. Submitted by Red Hat developer David Airlie, this patch enables NVDEC channel allocation via the ABI16 interface, which will be leveraged by the Mesa NVK driver for

The open-source NVIDIA Vulkan driver (NVK) for Linux has now gained experimental support for DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), marking a significant step forward in the Linux gaming ecosystem. This feature, which has been under development for some time, was initially introduced by a Valve contra

The open-source Vulkan driver NVK has gained experimental support for NVIDIA's DLSS in Mesa 26.2-devel, marking a significant step forward for Linux graphics performance. Rather than reimplementing DLSS, NVK loads pre-compiled CUDA binaries, which keeps the feature behind an experimental flag and li

The open-source Vulkan driver NVK, part of the Mesa project, has gained experimental support for Nvidia's DLSS technology in Mesa 26.2-devel. Rather than reimplementing DLSS, NVK loads pre-compiled CUDA binaries via the VK_NVX_binary_import Vulkan extension, which limits its availability to GPUs wit

NVIDIA's DLSS technology has officially landed in the open-source NVK Vulkan driver, marking a significant advancement for Linux gaming performance. DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) enhances game frame rates while maintaining image quality through AI algorithms, previously available only in NVIDI

The latest development marks a significant milestone for Linux gaming, as the open-source NVK Vulkan driver for NVIDIA GPUs now supports NVIDIA's DLSS technology within Mesa 26.2. This integration allows compatible Vulkan games on Linux to leverage AI-powered upscaling, enhancing both visual quality

The open-source NVIDIA NVK Vulkan driver has now gained support for NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) in the upcoming Mesa 26.2 release, marking a significant step forward for Linux gaming performance. This development stems from a pull request initiated by Autumn Ashton last year, aimed

On June 9, 2026, Georgia Tech released Vortex 3.0, a significant milestone in the open-source hardware landscape. This RISC-V-based GPU design now features a complete fixed-function 3D graphics pipeline, including rasterizer, texture units, and output mergers, alongside Vulkan driver support. It clo

NVIDIA released the first beta of its R610 Linux driver series, version 610.43.02, succeeding the current R595 branch. This update brings enhanced Vulkan support, including new extensions like VK_EXT_shader_long_vector and VK_KHR_device_group_creation, improving multi-GPU compatibility. Performance

The inclusion of the AMD-powered Steam Machine in the Khronos Group’s Vulkan conformant product database signals renewed progress for Valve’s long-delayed gaming console. While not a direct confirmation of an imminent launch, this certification indicates that Valve is still actively developing the d
