We recently merged a change to PanVK that finally enables AFBC support in PanVK. This reduces memory bandwidth usage a fair bit in many real-world applications, which in turn improves performance.
This feature will be available in the next version of Mesa, the 25.3 release, which is due in a month or two. People who want to try it out earlier are welcome to test the functionality from the Mesa main branch and report any issues they find upstream! The feature can also be opted out of by setting the PANVK_DEBUG environment variable to noafbc.
Hopefully this is a valuable improvement to our users!

Some real-world applications (RPCS3) not working and adding new issue gives nothing - 8 month without changes (check issue 12431)
