Mesa 26.3, the fourth-quarter Mesa3D feature release, is out, Phoronix reports.
- VK_AMD_anti_lag on RADV, plus improvements for early GCN-era GPUs.
- Intel’s new Jay shader compiler is on by default, Nova Lake graphics are no longer experimental, and Intel gets buffer compression that should help DXVK.
- Vulkan Video arrives for the NVK driver, with more Vulkan Video work on Intel too.
- AMD GFX1171 GPU support, and a long list of Vulkan extensions on panvk and other drivers, including Vulkan 1.3 on panvk v6-7.
My take
Anti-lag on RADV is the headline for AMD gamers. Grab it with your distro’s Mesa updates when they land.
Review before you install: read the release notes yourself, back up your config, and try new versions somewhere you can afford to break first.
God Bless, and Use the Source!
