Especially VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library is interesting. This means mesa 23.1 or higher on AMD GPU's is a must. Iirc Nvidia supports vk gpl for a year or so.

That just says recommended - you likely get frame stutter without GPL but the game would probably smooth out after 5 minutes or so.

Highly recommended in the minimum spec sheet is a must for me lol

Latest graphics drivers are always a good idea regardless.

[–] bery 2 points 1 year ago

True. Recently I updated my 1050ti graphics driver on my dads windows machine and it now runs valorant at 120 FPS instead of being locked to 60 to not drop frames too often

What does that mean for my RX 5600XT?

Run vulkaninfo | grep VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library and see if it's there.

[–] Linus_Torvalds 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I just ran vulkaninfo and it's there. Btw: You can check your version apparently with vulkaninfo | grep driverInfo.

The gpu supports gpl, but it depends on yoir distro and how Steam is installed which mesa version you have. What's you distro release? Native package manager or flatpa?
