I have trouble with Vulkan Drivers on my laptop, as it seems as if they are not supported at all?
When opening programs such as “Mission Center” I see the supported OpenGL version (4.5), however the Vulkan Version is said to be unsupported. This is confirmed in applications, which can’t detect neither the dGPU nor iGPU, if they rely on Vulkan drivers.
Is there a way to implement the drivers, or is the GPU simply not supported?
Thank you in advance for the answers and with kind regards.
The missioncenter.io site says ‘gpu support is experimental’, so that might not be trustworthy. What does vulkaninfo --summary say?
When you say ‘trouble’, do you mean that games won’t load? What else is going wrong here, your initial ask “Is there a way to implement the drivers, or is the GPU simply not supported?” doesn’t match my experience, Vulkan and OpenGL games work fine for me. Something else is missing – can you please share more information?
Now more information:
Whenever a game relies on vulkan drivers it crashes or can’t be loaded, however, when I use OpenGL, it works fine, which matches the information shown in mission center.
I play Emulators, in which I can select my Graphics settings. In some emulators the GPU is detected if i use Vulkan, but then crashes if i load a game. Others dont show a GPU at all when Vulkan is selected.
Trying to run something that works with OpenGL 4.6 brings up an error, that says OpenGL version not supported, which again confirms the information, that OpenGL is supported up to 4.5.
Are you running a plain install of Ubuntu and using the kernel-native amdgpu driver or a manual installation of the graphics driver package from amd.com?
What does apt search firmware | grep amd-graphics say? (This is: do you have firmware-amd-graphics installed?)
