[solved] How to check what AMD Graphics driver is in use?

When launching Unreal Engine 5 I get the following warning:

Unreal Engine wrote:

WARNING: Known issues with graphics driver

The installed version of the AMD graphics driver has known issues, Please install the recommended driver version.

Would you like to visit the following URL to donwload the driver?

https://www.amd.com/en/support

AMD Radeon RX 7700S
Installed: 2.0.302
Recommended: 23.3.1 or latest driver available

I was confused with this message because I have the following packages installed:

mesa 1:24.1.3-1
vulkan-radeon 1:24.1.3-1
xf86-video-amdgpu 23.0.0-2
amdgpu-pro-oglp(AUR) 24.10_1787253-1
amf-amdgpu-pro(AUR) 24.10_1787253-1
vulkan-amdgpu-pro(AUR) 24.10_1787253-1

As you can see the versions of the drivers are far ahead of 2.0.302. How can I find what driver is actually in use, and change it to a more modern one if needed?

I think you should use amdgpu for that card unless you have a specific reason to use AMDGPU-PRO. Gaming performance is _much_ better with the open source drivers.

Re: [solved] How to check what AMD Graphics driver is in use?

I use mesa radv - gives even more performance than open amdvlk
as for pro: don't use unless you need it

Re: [solved] How to check what AMD Graphics driver is in use?

I removed the three pro devices per your advice but still get the same warning whenever I turn on Unreal Engine. Really confused because there is no driver with version 2.0.302 as far as I know installed on my system.

It appears to be saying it doesn't like amdvlk and wants vulkan-radeon

Both of the packages you mentioned are installed on my system. Do you mean that I should uninstall amdvlk?

Or try switching at runtime as shown on the wiki page linked before

I understand now. I switched at runtime and forced Unreal Engine to use vulkan-radeon instead of amdvlk and it no longer complains. Thank you!

Re: [solved] How to check what AMD Graphics driver is in use?

just uninstall amdvlk should do the trick
if at all you could run into the issue that a game might try to use the igpu
