NVIDIA has put out what they call 'VkHLF', a high level abstraction library on top of Vulkan. Looks like it's under a BSD-style license too.

Nvidia have pushed out three new driver updates today. One for their latest stable branch and two for older hardware.

It seems NVIDIA are preparing a new driver update that will enable the use of Vulkan without needing X11.

It seems Wargame: European Escalation was broken for nearly two years for Nvidia GPU users on Linux. The recent Nvidia 370.28 driver seems to have fixed it.

Nvidia has released the beta driver 370.23, the good news for multi-GPU users is that it features initial support for PRIME Synchronization.

Here's a way to fix missing bodies in the Linux port of Shadow of Mordor with Nvidia drivers. This is a temp fix until a patch is released.

VR Funhouse is currently a Windows only advanced VR game, but the interesting thing is that Nvidia claim they will open source it.

Not exactly too different from previous Nvidia 364.x drivers, but this now makes the Nvidia 364.19 driver throw off the beta label and is stable enough in their eyes.

Nvidia are really pushing hard on their Vulkan driver, and it's great to see them push out updates so quickly. We now have the 364.16 Vulkan driver ready for download.

Just a heads up, you might want to avoid Nvidia driver 364.12 is you play Shadow of Mordor (or want to play it soon). Nvidia have stated it's an issue Feral Interactive need to fix.

Well Nvidia dropped a bit of a big one today didn't they! Nvidia driver version 364.12 is now out and brings in official Vulkan support, Mir support and Wayland support.

Two long and low quality videos from GDC are now up with Vulkan as the subject, all very interesting with Oxide Games (Ashes of the Singularity) and Valve speaking. I've done some highlights for you.

Looks like Nvidia don't want to be outclassed by AMD and have released GameWorks SDK 3.1 with the intetion of releasing parts of it onto github. They have already released FaceWorks and some OpenGL samples, with more to come.

Nvidia are keeping up their great support of Vulkan with yet another new build of their Vulkan driver which supports Linux.

Heads up Vulkan testers, Nvidia has updated their beta Vulkan driver for Linux. It should work better with newer kernels too.

SteamOS Brewmaster update 2.63 has been pushed to brewmaster_beta, if you are opted into the beta on SteamOS you will get an updated Nvidia driver featuring Vulkan support.

Well, this is awkward, Nvidia have also released a driver on Linux with Vulkan support. This leaves AMD to be the only desktop GPU vendor not to have one ready for testing on Linux.

Nvidia have been busy, they have released vkcpp which as a C++ API to work with Vulkan, as Vulkan itself is a C API.

Experiencing performance issues or stuttering in Feral's excellent port of XCOM 2? These engine tweaks might be just what you're looking for.

Nvidia hosted a 'Vulkan Developers Day' at their Silicon Valley campus with plenty of 'top graphics developers' attending.
