What’s New:
- PowerXpress Systems — Added Vulkan Support
- The Talos Principle — Potential version compatability issues addressed
- Hologram — No longer crashes on launch
- This product is based on a published Khronos specification but has not yet passed the Khronos Conformance Test Process. A fully conformant implementation of the Vulkan API will be included in a forthcoming Radeon Software release.
This driver is intended as beta level support for use solely with Vulkan applications and as such some Radeon Software functionality has been removed. This is including and not limited to support for other Graphics APIs, Radeon Settings and other Radeon Software driver features.
When installing the AMD Radeon Software Beta for Vulkan on the Windows operating system, the user must be logged on as Administrator, or have Administrator rights to complete the installation of the AMD Radeon Software Beta for Vulkan.
The AMD Radeon Software Beta for Vulkan requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be installed.
Note: This driver is not intended for use on AMD products running in Apple Boot Camp platforms. Users of these platforms should contact their system manufacturer for driver support.

What is Vulkan?
As a complement to OpenGL, descended from AMD’s Mantle, and forged by the industry, Vulkan is a powerful low-overhead graphics API that gives software developers deep control over the performance, efficiency, and capabilities of Radeon GPUs and multi-core CPUs. More information on Vulkan can be found here. More information on the latest AMD Vulkan-related news can be found here.
Known Issues:
- Some AMD PowerXpress systems may experience instability
- Windows re-sizing in some applications may cause an application crash
- HDMI and DP to DVI adapters on Windows 7 may intermittently cause display issues

Vulkan Driver for Windows 32-bit/64-bit:
The Vulkan Driver for Windows is a free and useful tool to improve the performance of your graphics card. High-end video games such as Quake use this driver to enhance the graphics, but you can also install it to get the same experience with low-end games. Although it’s not necessary to install this program if you’re only planning to play games, it will help your PC run better. Despite its name, the Vulkan Runtime Libraries will not harm your computer.
Vulkan Driver Download:
Vulkan Runtime Libraries is an Application Programming Interface (API) that is made by Khronos Group. It’s designed to help software developers take advantage of the power and efficiency of AMD’s Radeon GPUs. In addition, it reduces the API overhead and provides meaningful features and performance. It’s a good idea to install the latest version of Vulkan Driver for Windows if you’ve just upgraded your computer.
Windows compatibilities:
The Vulkan Driver for Windows is compatible with all major operating systems. You can download it from the Vulkan project page. This download is the most current graphics adapter driver available for your hardware. You can download the latest driver for your hardware from this website. If you’re not satisfied with the latest version of the driver, you can use another one. There are also free and open-source versions available for download.
It is recommended to Download the Vulkan Driver on Windows:
It is recommended to download the Vulkan Driver for Windows if you’re not a gamer. Gaming PCs should have the Vulkan Runtime Libraries installed. Otherwise, you might end up with an unstable system. The best way to get Vulkan drivers for Windows is to install them. You can choose which version is right for your PC and which one suits your gaming needs. If you want to install both of these, you need to follow the instructions.
This driver can be downloaded for free from the internet. The Vulkan Runtime Libraries are a free software package developed by the Khronos Group. It provides a graphical interface that lets games run smoothly. However, it requires a dedicated graphics card. For this reason, you should download the Vulkan Driver for Windows if you are using a dedicated GPU for gaming. If you’re not using one of these, you should install them instead.
It supports Graphics to provide High Performance:
You should download the latest graphics adapter driver to get the full benefit of Vulkan. Make sure you download the latest version of your graphics adapter. Alternatively, you can download the Vulkan Driver for Windows from the official website of Intel.
