I do not know the current roadmap for our Linux drivers, and I am generally unable to disclose anything that forward-looking if I want to keep my job. We have no plans, on Linux, to support Vulkan on any other driver stack.
#Reddit the riftbreaker drivers
AMD_Robert said that "Our Linux Vulkan drivers will only run on the amdgpu kernel driver. In the default 'sorted by best' thread view, the most interesting points made last night were about Vulkan support in the Linux driver. As for AMD Zen processors, as far as this AMA went, it was basically off limits so such questions got little attention. AMD_Robert said that he couldn't answer all the Polaris architecture/SKU/pricing questions that people had as "Right now those things are protected by strict NDAs".
Obviously juicy details about these products will arrive as they are launched. We heard that the Fury X2 was still on track to be released, for example, but not exactly when, and we know that Polaris GPUs will arrive mid-year but without any firm details concerning the lineup etc. All the answers were supplied by a Technical Marketing executive from AMD, 'AMD_Robert', except a couple where the AMD Gaming Community Manager 'AMD-DOWNL1NK' jumped in.Īs hinted at above, there were no real headline grabbing statements in response to Reddit users' probing questions. With that in mind we didn't really get any juicy morsels of information but rather a series of clarifications about this and that, sometimes just clearing up AMD's own nebulous PR communications. As per the session title, Reddit users could ask anything they wanted – but AMD reminded everyone that its hands were tied due to the legal obligations of public traded companies and impactful news releases.
An AMD AMA (Q&A) session was held yesterday evening on the popular Reddit discussion site.
