As noted in our previous report, Mesa 13.0.1 3D Graphics Library is here with a large number of improvements for both the Intel and Radeon Vulkan drivers, thus enhancing our gaming experience once again. For the Intel ANV Vulkan driver, it looks like it adds an up to 30 percent performance increase. On the other hand, the latest RADV improvements allow you to install and use the Radeon Vulkan driver outside the /usr/lib directory on a Linux-based operating system, which is possible because of the implementation of distinctly named JSON files that contain the full path of the Vulkan driver.
