Well ... if you are installing them you will get a newer experience...
Quantum break it will dx12 only for pc
rise of tomb raider will have a dx12 patch
Talos principle has Vulkan added ...

baby steps for a beggining era ... :cool:
There is a big interest from Microsoft to do dx12 only games or .... "ports"
I think you guys understand why ...

for those that didn't notice, no amd radeon settings. Someone is going to see this and say"where are my settings?". what I did was get the cnext and cccslim directories and ran the .exe from 16.1.1 hotfix. You don't see any vulkan versions but you get to see everything else.

So, you mean the Vulkan Driver doesn't show up under the Crimson software settings...but it's there, anyway? When I run the installer it keeps telling me that Vulkan is not installed--checking the box to install it and rebooting afterwords doesn't change that--still says Vulkan is not installed...but you are saying that it actually is installed?

Yes, pretty much.
The only way you know it is installed is to run a Vulkan aware program, and run that to check.

Pretty silly bug to let slip through--even if it is a beta.
 
I wouldn't think Cinebench supports Vulkan unless they patched the engine recently. R15 is rather old(test opengl 2.1) considering their latest commercial software uses R17 and offers occulus rift development support.

I love these drivers though my second Fury is finally folding at 100% gpu usage. Zero downclocks between writing checkpoints confirmed with gpu-z.

I updated to Beta 5 last night and just got this....
