    Nice. Looks like it is about time I upgrade my AMD Radeon RX 480 so I could play with new Vulkan features and get some more HW video accel for AV1 and such :)

    That sounds like quite the struggle! I can barely wait to test it out and discover how poor I can get everything to run with ray tracing

    Sorry for the maybe stupid question, but - once I get the required MESA upgrade, how can I verify and test this? Is it as simple as checking whether for example Cyberpunk 2077 now allows me to enable it out does it require compatible games/updates to them?

    Sounds like great progress though!

      There is a test program “raytracinginvulkan”. In Arch it’s an AUR package.

      Note that this is about Vulkan RT.

      RT via DX12 (DXR) requires support from VKD3D-proton in addition to VK RT.

      I don’t see why it wouldn’t be available on Xorg. Even on Wayland, most games run through XWayland. Raytracing only working on pure Wayland would be very limiting given the state of pure Wayland support in Wine.
