VkQuake3 running at 100+ FPS on a RPI 3B
thohal Jun 26, 2020
Do you remember back running Quake III on raspberries with ~20 FPS?

NVIDIA engineer Martin Thomas developed an unofficial Raspberry Pi Vulkan driver for the older Raspberries (RPI0-3, which are powered by Broadcom Videocore IV GPUs) in his spare time over the last 2 years and it provides better performance than the Broadcom OpenGL driver, as you can see in his Youtube video....

rpi-vk-driver is available at Github and Setup Instructions can be found inside the Wiki
