Which vulkan AMD drivers should I install?

So I want to install vulkin drivers for my AMD graphics card.

Which one should I install?

Second : amdvlk (or lib32-amdvlk) - AMDVLK Open (maintained by AMD)

I always go RADV. It probably depends on what you want to do with it. AMDVLK has some features the other doesn’t have (and vice versa?). For gaming RADV seems to be better, afaik, for example.

Why would you suggest this over the other one?

And in what ways is AMDVLK better than RADV?

Also can both be used at the same time?

Here you can see that RADV performs better for some games. In general they should provide somewhat the same experience, as far as I can tell, with some exceptions. But I’m no expert. I just use RADV and I’m happy with it.

I don’t think you can use them at the same time.
