Valve engineer Samuel Pitoiset fixes the RADV driver by tweaking a few lines of code to deliver 228% performance boost on FSR 2 applications.
RADV driver fix delivers an incredible performance boost on RDNA 2 hardware using FSR 2, reducing the performance gap that existed for two years.Valve engineer fixes problems with the RADV driver by reworking just ten lines of code to deliver a 228% boost in performance in FSR2 titles
The Mesa 24.3 has finally fixed the major issue with the RADV(Radeon Vulkan) driver, which led to inferior performance compared to AMD’s proprietary AMDVLK/AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan driver. This performance gap existed for nearly 2 years when the FSR 2 was turned on in games. It has been successfully fixed by Valve’s Linux driver team by just tweaking a few lines of code.
The credit goes to the engineer, Samuel Pitoiset, who, as reported by Phoronix, identified the issue and fixed the problem by tweaking less than a dozen lines of code.
