 - Fixed `SHADER_I16` not enabling `storage_buffer16_bit_access` or `storage_input_output16`, causing Vulkan validation errors when using 16-bit integers in buffers. By @JMS55 in [#9412](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/9412).
 - Fixed validation errors when frames take longer than the specified swapchain acquire timeout. By @atlv24 in [#9405](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/9405).
 - Fixed limits on Mesa's Honeykrisp / Asahi Linux. By @im-0 in [#9393](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/9393).
+- Fixed vkAcquireNextImage fence being awaited on non-Windows platforms causing frametime spikes on nvidia drivers. By @cohaereo in [#9486](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/9486).
