"AMD's Open-Source RADV Driver Achieves Up to 200% Ray-Tracing Performance Boost"
AMD Radeon GPUs have received significant ray tracing performance boosts with the latest MESA RADV Vulkan drivers, outperforming AMD's own "AMDVLK" drivers. The MESA 24.0 update, which has been in development for about a month, includes optimizations that better utilize GPU threads, leading to performance improvements. Notable gains include up to a 200% increase in ray tracing performance on the Radeon RX 7900 XT and substantial improvements across various games on the RX 6700 XT. The MESA RADV driver is becoming a strong competitor to AMD's proprietary drivers on Linux, thanks to continuous optimizations and support for older hardware.
"AMD Introduces ROI Video Encoder Support for Linux GPU Drivers"

This feature allows users to specify areas of the video frame that are higher or lower priority, enabling the video encoder hardware to focus its bit usage for optimal results. The ROI video encode feature is useful for applications like AR/VR and mapping persistent text to specific regions of the frame. The code is available in Mesa Git for the upcoming Mesa 24.0 feature release in Q1, along with improvements to the RadeonSI Gallium3D and RADV Vulkan drivers.
