As a sign of time for the Nvidia Vulkan Nvidia Open-Source NVK pilot within Mesa and the generic code Zink OpenGl-on-Vulkan, with the Mesa 25.1 version of the next quarter when using a Nvidia Turing or more recent GPU with the new pilot stack, it is now lack of defect.
NVC0 Gallium3D is barely maintained today, in particular compared to the NVK driver actively developed within Mesa by Faith Ekstrand of Collara and other open source developers. In addition, Zink has shown its successes as a whole to work well on several material pilots, the imagination going to the Vulkan itinerary only with their Powervr driver to rely on Zink for OpenGL, and Mike Blumenkrantz de Valve leading really hard on Zink optimizations and fixes.
With merger In the process of being merged at the moment, Mesa 25.1 with new will load Zink as an OpenGL pilot for Turing and more recent and during a core supported with the support of DRM modifiers. It is a logical decision to make the stagnation of the NVC0 driver. Most NVIDIA users will always be preferable to use the official nvidia Linux driver battery with OpenGL / Vulkan owner, in particular given the headache with the current nucleus of the new nucleus (although over time, the Nova nucleus pilot will take, hope to take shape and become a viable alternative) and now another victory for zink in books.
