Hi guys, in short which drivers to install for AMD video cards? I have a Radeon 6750 XT, and I saw the gaming guide, but a doubt arose in my mind, there are two types of drivers for video cards: AMD AMDVLK and AMD RADV. In addition to the installed vulkan (vulkan-icd-loader and lib32-vulkan-icd-loader) I have installed the AMD AMDVLK drivers (amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk), but I have not installed the AMD RADV drivers. Should I install them, or should I only keep one type between the two video drivers?
This is my setup in brief:
Operating System: EndeavourOS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
Kernel Version: 6.6.4-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor
Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X570-P
Since I have a full AMD setup (CPU and GPU), as regards the CPU and the motherboard (chipset for example) is there any driver or program that can be useful to me?
