Welcome back yuz-ers, welcome to ~~City 17~~ Febraury’s progress report! This time we will talk about Vulkan performance improvements, audio changes, how to make good use of compute shaders, new input additions, and more kernel rewrites.

## New minimum requirements
Thanks to Linux’s mesa drivers progress, we recently modified our minimum graphics requirements.
Thanks to progress in Linux’s mesa drivers, we've recently modified our minimum graphics requirements.
[yuzu now requires OpenGL 4.6](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/5888), any previously compatible hardware reaches this requirement with its latest GPU drivers installed. Even old Fermi or GCN1.0 series products.
Laptop users, like desktop users, should visit the GPU’s manufacturer site ([AMD](https://www.amd.com/en/support), [Intel](https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/Graphics), [Nvidia](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/) instead of the vendor’s site of the laptop (HP, Lenovo, Asus, etc.), as it will provide compatible and much more updated drivers.

Thanks [Morph](https://github.com/Morph1984) for the change!
On the flip side, while the requirement of Vulkan 1.1 hasn't changed, as stated in previous articles, [Rodrigo](https://github.com/ReinUsesLisp) made `VK_EXT_robustness2` [a hard requirement now.](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/5917)
This means that updated drivers are critical now, as lacking this extension will stop yuzu from booting games while on Vulkan.
AMD users still require to install the latest `Optional` driver version to get support for robustness2. At the time of writing, the latest version is 21.2.3, but yuzu will work with drivers as old as 20.12.1.

Multi GPU systems must have all their drivers updated, even for integrated graphics that are operative but not in use.
