Finally Khronos are releasing a provisional hardware agnostic Vulkan extension for RT acceleration.

The official Khronos release is here, and the Phoronix article here.

Hopefully we will see day 1 support for this in RDNA2 drivers - it should certainly make supporting ray tracing in Linux much easier, for both native Vulkan devs and the likes of VKD3D as mentioned in the Phoronix article.

Keep in mind also the Caustic RT tech in IMG Tec's PowerVR Wizard GPU's - as with RDNA2 I would expect IMG Tec to jump on this with bells on.

Perhaps with their RT preparation and renewed Apple licensing we might see a resurgence from PowerVR in the mobile market.
