Phoronix: Don't Bother Trying AMDVLK Vulkan With Rise of the Tomb Raider Right Now

Following yesterday's 20-way graphics card comparison for Rise of the Tomb Raider that debuted yesterday on Linux and is exclusively powered by Vulkan, my next benchmarking objective was trying out the official AMD Vulkan driver, AMDVLK, to see how it would work given the successes of RADV on launch-day for this latest Feral Interactive game port...

Hm, AMD seems unusually silent this month for some reason,. no new drivers for Windows this month at all.

They should do proper releases of AMDVLK with some kind of version number so we have something to reference...

Hmm, Feral probably didn't test it, since they target RadV...

As opposed to the bug-free experience you get on Windows 10?
