+A New Open Source Vulkan Driver for NVIDIA Graphics is Ready to Test!
+======
+A new open-source driver is in the making for NVIDIA graphics! Some good progress here...
+
+![A New Open Source Vulkan Driver for NVIDIA Graphics is Ready to Test!][1]
+
+**NVK** is a new open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA Graphics hardware and aims to be the new go-to graphics driver.
+
+This was made possible in part due to Nvidia releasing open-source GPU kernel modules for its data center GPUs and consumer cards (GTX/RTX).
+
+[NVIDIA Takes a Big Step to Improve its GPU Experience on Linux][2]
+
+It has enabled developers to improve open-source drivers and enable more features than what was possible before.
+
+Let's take a look at what NVK has to offer.
+
+### New NVK Open-Source Driver for NVIDIA GPU
+
+**Jason Ekstrand** (engineer at Collabora) and a few others from Red Hat have been writing the code for NVK for the past few months.
+
+They could take advantage of the unified firmware BLOBs that Turing GPUs offer, and built on top of it with Vulkan support.
+
+**But, open-source nouveau drivers exist, right?**
+
+NVK is very different from the nouveau drivers, as it has been written from scratch.
+
+Nouveau, a major open-source driver suite for Nvidia GPUs has fallen into disrepair, and trying to build on it is a task not many can take up.
+
+Of course, skillful engineers worked on it, but lack of corporate backing and contributors affected its evolution.
+
+**NVK aims to get over those while focusing on support for GPUs of the Turing series and later to start with.**
+
+Support for older GPUs such as Kepler, Maxwell, and Pascal might not come to NVK that easily, because of how the kernel is being developed. It might have a hard dependency on the new kernel, resulting in support for newer GPUs only.
+
+Also, the nouveau kernel interface not playing nice with Vulkan and hindering support for older GPUs.
+
+But, there is still scope for further testing, which can result in support for older GPUs with NVK.
+
+Of course, with more community contributions, NVK can be improved with additional features and GPU support.
+
+### How To Try It Out?
+
+NVK is currently available in a very alpha-build state, with many features missing and under constant development.
+
+**So, it is not yet ready for all kinds of users to get a hands on it.**
+
+You can still try it out by pulling and building it from the nvk/main branch from the [nouveau/mesa project][4] on freedesktop.org.
+
+If you want, you can also contribute to the development of NVK by heading over to the [nvk/main branch][5] of the same.
+
+For more technical info, you can refer to the [official announcement][6].
+
+### Future Potential
+
+NVK has a lot of potential, especially compared to the aging [nouveau][7] graphics driver suite.
+
+This can lead to a proper successor of nouveau and a mainstream open-source Nvidia graphics driver suite for Linux with a lot of functionality on offer.
+
+💬 *What are your thoughts on this? Do you think this will finally achieve what nouveau drivers failed to?*
