#  Khronos introduces new present mode in Vulkan with the release of new VK\_EXT\_present\_mode\_fifo\_latest\_ready extension 

  October 24th at 2:53pm

 The Vulkan Working Group have released the VK_EXT_present_mode_fifo_latest_ready extension that introduces a new present mode in Vulkan that is closer in semantics to what some platforms can offer when wanting to expose a mailbox-like present mode. With VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_LATEST_READY_EXT the presentation engine has a presentation queue similar to the existing VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR. However, it only displays the most recently completed presentation request in that queue and releases the images associated with the older requests when starting a new refresh cycle. For additional information see the GitHub Extensions Proposal Document.
