AMD 正式停更 AMDVLK 驱动，全力支持 Mesa RADV

9 月 15 日，AMD 宣布停止维护其开源 Vulkan 驱动 AMDVLK，转而全面支持 Mesa 项目下的 RADV 驱动 作为 Linux 平台上的官方 Vulkan 驱动。

早在今年 5 月，AMD 就已透露会逐步淘汰自家 Vulkan 与 OpenGL 专有驱动，并将 RADV 纳入 Radeon Software for Linux 套件中。事实上，AMDVLK 已经超过四个月没有更新，此次宣布也印证了外界预期。

RADV 长期受到 Valve、Google、Red Hat 等厂商支持，功能成熟度和游戏兼容性甚至超过 AMD 官方驱动。随着 Vulkan 光追和工作站、计算等场景支持趋于完善，AMD 选择将资源集中在 RADV 被认为是“迟到但正确”的决定。

AMD 表示，这一整合将“让社区与厂商共享同一高性能代码库”，并鼓励开发者贡献 RADV 的未来发展。

In a move to streamline development and strengthen our commitment to the open-source community, AMD is unifying its Linux Vulkan driver strategy and has decided to discontinue the AMDVLK open-source project, throwing our full support behind the RADV driver as the officially supported open-source Vulkan driver for Radeon™ graphics adapters.

This consolidation allows us to focus our resources on a single, high-performance codebase that benefits from the incredible work of the entire open-source community. We invite developers and users alike to utilize the RADV driver and contribute to its future.

Contribute to the code: Mesa GitLab Repository
We are excited about this focused path forward and are committed to the continued success of open-source Vulkan on Radeon.
