Hello everyone and welcome to my channel.
In today's video, I am comparing the AMD official and unofficial open-source drivers on Linux, so AMDVLK and RADV.
I am testing 7 games at 1440p on Manjaro Gnome, and the performance is very similar, except Borderlands 3, however, when I was using AMDLVK more games froze, crashed or haven't even launched. For example Overwatch.
RADV is recommended, but in my opinion, AMDVLK can be faster in Games with Vulkan, so might be handy to keep both of them.
