On: A Nvidia Engineer Wrote a Vulkan Driver That Works...

[pcwalton]

It doesn't look like this supports GLSL, so that would have to be addressed first. Furthermore, there's no Vulkan backend yet for WebRender.

[simcop2387 → pcwalton]

Actually it might be, Zink just got OpenGL 3.0 support.

Zink is an OpenGL Implementation on top of Vulkan and that might actually be a good way to do full OpenGL on these devices.

[tambre → simcop2387]

Zink has next to no optimization effort so far and is thus very slow from what I've read. Maybe in a few years, since they currently seem to be focusing on compatibility.

[messe → tambre]

Which is the right way to go about it, especially when Vulkan is still in the process of being adopted. Make it right; then make it fast.

[Narishma → simcop2387]

But it's only a small subset of Vulkan that this driver implements. I would be surprised if it's enough for an OpenGL implementation.
