AMD's "AMDVLK" Vulkan Driver Making It Easier To Switch To RADV Driver

[pal666]

I have Radeon 5700 XT and mesa drivers. Which Vulkan driver do I have?

the one which comes with your distro, it should be radv

How to check that? Why would I want to switch to other driver?

don't bother

"ANV" Vulkan implementation that Valve had pioneered with Mesa

it was intel

it was intel

Yes, the ANV driver is for Intel hardware and Intel employees support it in the open.

Historically I was thinking of the original Valve + LunarG effort to develop a vulkan driver prior to the 1.0 specification being released. At the moment I'm blanking if that turned in to ANV, or if it was supplanted by Intel's own code.
