Nice. Looks like it is about time I upgrade my AMD Radeon RX 480 so I could play with new Vulkan features and get some more HW video accel for AV1 and such :)
Sorry for the maybe stupid question, but - once I get the required MESA upgrade, how can I verify and test this? Is it as simple as checking whether for example Cyberpunk 2077 now allows me to enable it out does it require compatible games/updates to them?

That sounds like quite the struggle! I can barely wait to test it out and discover how poor I can get everything to run with ray tracing

Sounds like great progress though!

There is a test program "raytracinginvulkan". In Arch it's an AUR package.

Note that this is about Vulkan RT.
RT via DX12 (DXR) requires support from VKD3D-proton in addition to VK RT.
