Ok I’m going to install Steam to play Hearts of Iron, my question is will vulkan-intel 21.1.0-1 give me better acceleration for games? I’m just using default kernel driver, i uninstalled xf86-video-intel. Everything is running smoothly, but I’m well aware that game require more juice lol. Thanks! [https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86\_64/vulkan-intel/](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vulkan-intel/) I’m using a Intel i7-10700 with the Intel UHD 630 Edit:Steam requires vulkan-driver. 🤔 ---

I wonder if you need anything else to go along with it? There are other vulkan packages such as vulkan-tools. I’m not a gamer so probably @keybreak could give you some more advice. Or someone else? ---

So i need [http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listdevices.php?platform=linux](http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listdevices.php?platform=linux) This is my CPU [https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i7-10700-core-i7-10th-gen/p/N82E16819118126?Description=Intel%20Core%20i7-10700&cm\_re=Intel\_Core%20i7-10700-_-19-118-126-_-Product&quicklink=true](https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i7-10700-core-i7-10th-gen/p/N82E16819118126?Description=Intel%20Core%20i7-10700&cm_re=Intel_Core%20i7-10700-_-19-118-126-_-Product&quicklink=true) So I’m assuming that its " **Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2)**" in that list?
