There is yet another feature to get excited about for this quarter's Mesa 26.3 release. Months in the making, the Valve-contributed VK_AMD_anti_lag support for the Radeon RADV driver was merged today for benefiting AMD Linux gamers as a nice improvement over the former implementation.

VK_AMD_anti_lag debuted back in July 2024 with Vulkan 1.3.291 as the Vulkan extension for AMD Anti Lag to help reduce latency while gaming. The extension enables automatic pacing of the CPU to make sure it does not get too far ahead of the GPU in order to minimize latency between input events and screen updates.

It won't help people like me who suck at gaming, but should definitely be a good win for a few people

    I was curious what this extension even does, so I had to look it up:

    This extension automatically paces the CPU to make sure it does not get too far ahead of the GPU, reducing the latency between inputs received and updates on the screen. Additionally, Anti-Lag+ offers applications the ability to inform the driver when input processing begins, in order to align the timing of display updates, enabling even lower latency between receiving input and displaying on the screen.

    Pretty interesting
