Valve Lands VK_AMD_anti_lag Support For AMD RADV Driver In Mesa 26.3 - AMD extension to reduce Latency in games

6 days ago by auzy1 to c/LinuxNews

There is yet another feature to get excited about for this quarter's Mesa 26.3 release. Months in the making, the Valve-contributed VK_AMD_anti_lag support for the Radeon RADV driver was merged today for benefiting AMD Linux gamers as a nice improvement over the former implementation.

VK_AMD_anti_lag debuted back in July 2024 with Vulkan 1.3.291 as the Vulkan extension for AMD Anti Lag to help reduce latency while gaming. The extension enables automatic pacing of the CPU to make sure it does not get too far ahead of the GPU in order to minimize latency between input events and screen updates.

It won't help people like me who suck at gaming, but should definitely be a good win for a few people
