GPU - Vulkan
Vulkan is a new generation graphics and compute API that provides high-efficiency, cross-platform access to modern GPUs.
- The recommended Vulkan driver is the Mesa RADV driver on either LLVM or ACO.
- AMDVLK also works okay in most scenarios, but can be a bit slower and has notable bugs in some games.

NOTE: Radeon Vulkan “RADV” driver has enabled the Valve-backed ACO shader compiler by default rather than AMDs official AMDGPU LLVM shader compiler back-end.
It has feature parity with the AMDGPU LLVM back-end, RADV is now defaulting to using ACO in place of the AMDGPU LLVM shader compiler.
