Added support for the VK_EXT_descriptor_heap extension.
Now we just wait for it to get implemented in Proton to finally have decent DX12 performance on Nvidia on Linux.

I feel like this is pretty big! https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/non-existent-shared-vram-on-nvidia-linux-drivers/260304

Nice! I’ve been burned by this before.

Same, great update, happened a few times already and I've only been on Linux for two months.
One thing I love about swapping OS is that over the past two months, I've already seen 10 or so patches to the OS that have legitimately made my experience better. On Windows, everything just got progressively worse with each upgrade. It makes me hopeful for the future instead of despondent!

Yes looking forward to this one too. Not sure if it will help, but Jedi survivor has some weird texture things going on due to VRAM requirements on Linux that I didn't have on Windows. Possibly down to how this is treated.

In case anyone is running Noctalia shell, I can recommend the Performance mode which reduces memory and animations and stuff while enabled, so it is less taxing on resources while gaming. Then just disable when you stop gaming. 😗👌

I gave up on ever being able to use Wayland while having this Nvidia GPU. That sounds promising.

That's pretty cool. I finally just updated to 580. Guess I'm a little behind.

Well since it hasn't been fully implemented in the DX12 to Vulkan translation layers, you aren't missing out yet.

If you have something older than Titan RTX / 2080 Ti (TU162), you won't get more updates

Ah, that's probably what it is. Yeah, I have a 2060, and a 980Ti. I only upgrade components if I really have to. And so far, all of my games run fine. So, unless there is a Fallout 5 or some really cool co-op survival game my friends insist I need to get, I'm going to be rocking my 2060 and the 580 driver for a while. Next card will probably be an AMD, anyway.

With a 2060, you have a Turing card, which is still supported (it was released after the 2080). So you're in luck :3

Sweet.

Can someone update Jensen's drivers to something more stable?

Finally they fixed it, I have been waiting for years!!!
I CAN FINALLY PLAY DX12 video games on Linux.

Well still needs implementation in Proton. I think CachyOS proton has partial implementation from some of the WIP on the vkd3d-Proton project which hasn't made its way into a release yet.
Could be cope, but maybe once thats all done we will have good DX12 performance.

"stable"
Remember starting grub by adding a 3 ( as in run level 3) to the end of the linux line will get you a terminal at least.
