Quake II RTX adds support for the official cross-vendor Vulkan Ray Tracing

I guess this is the first thing that you can test AMDs Vulkan RT support on _Windows_ with, but no Vulkan RT on Linux yet afaik.
Oh, this is an NVIDIA project on GitHub.

And I guess that's a big no on AMD since it checks that you're running the correct Nvidia driver version:

Wait, so is there async reprojection support for Linux at all? Is it the same hw requirements as on Windows or different? How can I tell? And what about motion smoothing?

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS still seeing updates, Mesa issues on Linux being looked into
19 Aug 2019 at 11:54 am UTC

Looking forward to the Mesa fixes... :-)

It's really weird because when the main interface goes black you can't even click on the elements that are invisible, like it's not even trying to draw them...
