There are some people who got it working with Vulkan but that guide will be newcomer friendly as possible. Web is entirely filled with Bumblebee related topics but it's outdated, has overhead compared to Prime and most importantly it doesn't support Vulkan. Guide will be centric to Ubuntu 18.04 base ( since i'm on Mint 19.1 ), especially for Nvidia Prime.įirst things first if you want to do proper gaming with Optimus laptops avoid Bumblebee. I'm not a native speaker, so bare with my somewhat broken English. So i will try my best to explain how to properly use dedicated gpu's for avoiding performance issues. The purported Gen11 GPU variants were also detailed in recent Graphics Command Center drivers.Hi, i thought there is a need for a guide on that topic. Gen11 integrated GPUs feature up to 64 EUs, a 4x larger 元 cache, a tile-based renderer, Coarse Rate Shading, and improved memory compression. Intel Gen11 graphics will be seen in the upcoming Ice Lake, Elkhart Lake, and subsequent CPUs. Intel open-source developer Jason Ekstrand also noted in the Mesa 3D Graphics library that both ANV and i965 drivers " should be running more-or-less at perf at this point. The latest Linux kernel release is version 5.0.13 so upcoming Linux distros with the 5.2 and above kernel should have these drivers built-in. These warnings have now been removed and the code says that the drivers are fully supported. Till date, running Gen11 hardware with OpenGL or Vulkan drivers would result in a warning that the drivers are not fully supported. This includes both kernel and user-space drivers as well.

These drivers will no longer be considered "experimental" in the Linux 5.2 kernel. The open-source OpenGL and Vulkan drivers, called i915 and ANV respectively, for the upcoming Intel Gen11 graphics are now considered to be feature-complete as per recent changes to the Linux driver code.
