Vulkan on Optimus laptop

Im trying to configure vulkan properly on an MSI-GS60 with a Haswell and a nvidia 970m graphics cards.

Both vulkaninfo and vulCapsViewer only show info about the intel GPU and not the nvidia GPU, anyone with an optimus laptop able to gather vulkaninfo from both the GPUs?

Re: Vulkan on Optimus laptop

What are vulkaninfo and vulCapsViewer, and where did they come from?

Ah, I see vulkaninfo is from the vulkan-validation-layers package, but I can't find vulCapsViewer anywhere.

vulkaninfo is in extra/vulkan-validation-layers. Not sure about the other one.

Re: Vulkan on Optimus laptop

vulkanCapsViewer can be found in AUR. link

vulkaninfo is command line to show the vulkan devices available on the system  and their characteristics and vulkanCapsViewer does the same thing but graphically.

Bumblebee doesn't support Vulkan (yet)
