PowerVR
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
PowerVR is a Vulkan driver for Imagination Technologies PowerVR GPUs, starting
|
||||
with those based on the Rogue architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
The driver is **not yet fully conformant** so it requires exporting
|
||||
``PVR_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER=1`` to the environment before running any
|
||||
Vulkan content.
|
||||
|
||||
The following hardware is currently in active development:

|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, a product name is shared across multiple BVNCs so to check for
|
||||
support make sure the BVNC matches the one listed. As the feature set and
|
||||
hardware issues can vary between BVNCs, additional driver changes might be
|
||||
necessary even for devices sharing the same product name.
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware documentation can be found at: https://docs.imgtec.com/
|
||||
|
||||
Note: GPUs prior to Series6 do not have the hardware capabilities required to
|
||||
support Vulkan and therefore cannot be supported by this driver.
