The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

AMDVLK Release v-2023.Q2.2
on raw tests AMDVLK is about 100% faster than RADV like this one

RADV RayTracing on RDNA 2 doesn't work
This Vulkan RayTracing Test also only runs with AMDVLK

Anyone having better luck with the Intel Arc A750/770? It seems only Vulkan games are working well.
I did some more testing in regards to raytracing on Linux/Vulkan and could get this benchmark to run (albeit horribly slow) with the Arc 750

Oh sorry. That's nice! The only RT stuff that worked nicely for me (except FPS, offcourse) was this: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan

Vulkan not enabled for my graphics card, can anyone help?
Have you tried testing it? Here is a benchmark someone created.

Vulkan Ray Tracing: Blocky edges when there is another object behind
Reminds me of this bug caused by missing "non-uniform" hints: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/36

Cyberpunk 2077 Ray Tracing Performance: NVIDIA 60% to 80% faster!
The man himself admitted he started celebrating way too early. Just look at the github issue: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/28

[Hardware Unboxed] Don't Buy GeForce? Are We Testing GPUs Wrong? Nvidia Driver Overhead Discussion
With xbox and PS5 using AMDs ray tracing architecture, it would be dumb for devs to not optimize for AMD. 22% improvement with basically a code line swap. https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/28#issuecomment-792966138

How do we write a ray tracer in opengl?
But this is all very awkward and pointless. Pixel shaders are not designed for that, and textures are not ideal for passing such information to the GPU. Ideally, you would use OpenGL compute shaders, or any other GPU compute API, and pass your geometry in "buffers". I've written a polygon mesh raytracer like that in OpenCL once upon a time: https://github.com/jtsiomb/clray
What are some alternatives?
