[SOLVED] vulkan-amdgpu-pro doesn't work on RX 580

Hi!
As I know, a long time ago amdvlk has stopped working on PWN amd cards, but as far as I know, pro drivers must work good, especially with not a very old gpu.

https://www.amd.com/en/resources/suppor … -40-2.html

Below in the table there is a mention of RX 500 series, which means that in theory this driver should work.

Here is vulkaninfo:

$ vulkaninfo
WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Received return code -3 from call to vkCreateInstance in ICD /usr/lib/amdvlkpro64.so. Skipping this driver.
ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Found no drivers!
Cannot create Vulkan instance.
This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.

P.S: when vulkan-amdgpu-pro was available earlier, it has been given me 25% more fps than with vulkan-radeon

Re: [SOLVED] vulkan-amdgpu-pro doesn't work on RX 580

the pro drivers have dropped the support for rx500 - before I upgraded to a 7700xt I used a rx570 and had the same issue
you have to downgrade to 2023-q3
source: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDV … -2023.Q4.1
"drop support for gfx8 polaris rx400/500 and gfx9 vega"
also: https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Grafikka … x-1432315/

so: either downgrade, use radv - don't use the open amdvlk non-pro - or buy a new gpu

You mean that amdvlk and vulkan-amdgpu-pro have the same list of supported gpus? It is very strange, because noone had written or said about canceling support on Vega series on pro drivers.

Re: [SOLVED] vulkan-amdgpu-pro doesn't work on RX 580

amdvlk is a somewhat cleaned up (in terms of licensed tech) version of amdvlk-pro, it makes sense that they share the same general baselines regarding GPU support.

Re: [SOLVED] vulkan-amdgpu-pro doesn't work on RX 580

the difference between the open source amdvlk and the closed source amdvlk-pro is the shader compiler - otherwise they share the same base
I have only one application that can take advantage of amdvlk-pro over radv - but for anything else I use radv as suggested by someone with way more experience in that regard
