AMDVLK Discontinued

[Canoe]

So this is both interesting and awesome (AMD now moving to focus singular effort on RADV) :

AMDVLK open-source project is discontinued · GPUOpen-Drivers AMDVLK ·...

After advice here, - I’ve been running on AMDVLK and more than happy with performance. How do I swap out to RADV as per the recommendations and guidance?

Edit: Correction : I’m not on amdvlk, just lack of sleep and caffeine..

I wonder about that advice as I have generally seen the opposite suggestion.

Unless you have some specific reason it was my understanding that you really do not want amdvlk.

The preferred amd vulkan is usually vulkan-radeon.

• AMD: there are three implementations, which could be installed simultaneously:

Note Test with only vulkan-radeon first: although not appearing as the first provider of vulkan-driver (due to its alphabetical order), it avoids some issues with amdvlk, such as #AMDGPU - Crashes with DirectX Vulkan games.

• vulkan-radeon (or lib32-vulkan-radeon) - RADV (part of Mesa project)
• amdvlk (or lib32-amdvlk) - AMDVLK Open (maintained by AMD)
• vulkan-amdgpu-proAUR (or lib32-vulkan-amdgpu-proAUR) - AMDVLK Closed (maintained by AMD)

The following are software rasterizers, so that you can use it on devices that do not provide Vulkan support.

• Lavapipe: vulkan-swrast (or lib32-vulkan-swrast)
• SwiftShader: swiftshader-gitAUR

For Vulkan application development, install vulkan-headers, and optionally vulkan-validation-layers, vulkan-man-pagesAUR and vulkan-tools (you can find the vulkaninfo, and vkcube tools in there).

Thanks, I’m trying to find the old post. Either way, switching to RADV seems fairly straightforward.

Edit: Ignore me, it’s been a long day, - it was the other way around, apologies. I was on amdvlk and was recommended vulkan-radeon, which I’m on..
