Despite what the gentoo page says https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDVLK
that RADV and AMDVLK can co-exists and simply switching them with environment variables will make application use particular implementation;
that is not correct.
This worked for "Sons of the forest" as I switched between two drivers to measure difference but for Elden Ring the mere presence of amdvlk-bin made it crashed/suspended.
Elden Ring will start but it crashes/suspends before going into game world no matter what value you use for AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV/AMDVLK.
Uninstalling amdvlk-bin fixes Elden Ring and it runs fine with RADV.
AMD Mesa Vulkan RADV and AMDVLK heads up
Message
When amdvlk is installed, then VK_ICD_FILENAMES is ignored and AMD_VULKAN_ICD is read instead. However, AMD_VULKAN_ICD does not allow you select pro driver.
The best way to manage this, if you have the 3 types of drivers ( radv, amdvlk and pro) is to
1. disable switchable export DISABLE_LAYER_AMD_SWITCHABLE_GRAPHICS_1=1
2. set VK_ICD_FILENAMES to the appropriate driver

# This script applies amdvlk-pro/amdvlk/radv Vulkan driver for specific application.
# You can see the list of available drivers with vulkaninfo utility, see the driverName and driverID lines.
#
# Usage:
# <vk_radv|vk_amdvlk|vk_pro> <app and its parameters>
# For example:
# $ vk_pro vkmark
# This will start vkmark with AMDGPU PRO vulkan driver.
# When amdvlk is installed, then VK_ICD_FILENAMES is ignored and AMD_VULKAN_ICD is read instead. However, AMD_VULKAN_ICD does not allow you (afaics) select pro driver.
# So we revert this behavior to standard one.

New details are managed by users like you, I and Naib as far as I can tell (I recognise some of the names appearing in code hints etc), The info in this thread should be in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDVLK#Mes ... perability IMHO, but other wiki editors will guide you if that's wrong I'm sure.ritzmax72 wrote:I don't know how Gentoo pages are managed but that could be a good thing to do.
