As reported by Tom's Hardware, the ATI Radeon R300, R400 and R500 are getting new drivers under Linux, allowing the GPUs to request NIR shaders from the Mesa 3D graphics library’s state tracker, and to use the NIR to TGSI path.
Due to hardware limitations, the NIR could be available only for the R500, but this is yet to be confirmed.
