isn’t RADV in Mesa better? (that what the Steam Deck uses)
What would you like to tell us with that link?
Only that it’s nice that nVidio now also goes OpenSource (upvoted) in its drivers, like AMD since time ago. Not all off us use nVidia in our PCs, adding that AMD also use OpenSource maybe in the interest of some users.
AMD even supports many more models than Nvidia. They didn’t do it after years and years of pressure and Linus’ middle finger, but because they can and they still are competitive.
Even though Nvidia always claimed other companies would rip off their hardware if they gave away their secrets in software…
I don’t think so nVidia soft don’t work in AMD, in Steam, f.Exmple are several games which only works in nVidia. AMD and nVidia uses a different arquitecture, its like to try to run Linux soft in Windows or Winsoft in Linux, it’s irrelevant of OpenSource or not in this point, you cant without an emulator soft, Wine in Linux, most only badly.
That’s not what I meant. Hardware manufacturers often cite their chip design as a reason for why they don’t release their driver software. Someone could reverse engineer the functions of the software and see what the hardware does, then replicate it.
Especially for proprietary tech like RTX, DLSS and G-Sync (which are more and more becoming FOSS anyway, e.g. FSR and Freesync 2.0), the chip makers fear they might lose the miniscule competitive advantage they gain by obscuring their code.
