The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

AMDVLK Release v-2023.Q2.2
on raw tests AMDVLK is about 100% faster than RADV like this one

RADV RayTracing on RDNA 2 doesn't work
This Vulkan RayTracing Test also only runs with AMDVLK

Anyone having better luck with the Intel Arc A750/770? It seems only Vulkan games are working well.
I did some more testing in regards to raytracing on Linux/Vulkan and could get this benchmark to run (albeit horribly slow) with the Arc 750

Oh sorry. That's nice! The only RT stuff that worked nicely for me (except FPS, offcourse) was this: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan

Vulkan not enabled for my graphics card, can anyone help?
Have you tried testing it? Here is a benchmark someone created.

Vulkan Ray Tracing: Blocky edges when there is another object behind
Reminds me of this bug caused by missing "non-uniform" hints: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/36

Cyberpunk 2077 Ray Tracing Performance: NVIDIA 60% to 80% faster!
The man himself admitted he started celebrating way too early. Just look at the github issue: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/28

[Hardware Unboxed] Don't Buy GeForce? Are We Testing GPUs Wrong? Nvidia Driver Overhead Discussion
With xbox and PS5 using AMDs ray tracing architecture, it would be dumb for devs to not optimize for AMD. 22% improvement with basically a code line swap. https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/28#issuecomment-792966138

Read dead redemption 2 crashes entire system during benchmark
If RADV hangs rdr2 at the moment you can temporarily switch to amdvlk, you can also switch on a game-to-game basis without rebooting or anything. You can get it from the release section of their github: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK. But keep in mind that amdvlk will make itself the default as long as you have it installed.

Proof 7900XTX VR issues ARE due to a driver problem, not hardware (Linux v. Windows timing graphs)
Other parts of the stack can be released, and I'd bet anything that AMD's vulkan driver, amdvlk, is at least very similar to the windows implementation, just with a different PAL backed by whatever the windows systems are instead of libdrm.

Steam games using Vulkan fail to launch
Switching from RADV to AMDVLK fixed the issue. I haven't noticed any performance differences once the shaders are compiled.

Problem with deep rock galactic
Looks like an issue with a more recent version of amdvlk (https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/issues/278). Some people resolved by uninstalling amdvlk, but I was able to launch it with amdvlk still installed by using the launch options settings I've provided with this report.
