    AMD’s first party drivers are still garbage.

    As I mentioned in my comment you replied to, I use Linux, and not Windows, so can’t speak (today) towards AMD’s Windows drivers.

    For me, I let Linux worry about the drivers, so I don’t have to.

    Best decision I’ve ever made, PC build wise. So nice to get away from NVidia and not worry about graphics drivers.

      You’re missing my point. AMD’s official Linux drivers are ALSO garbage. Try it. Go install AMDVLK and check how well games work. You’re almost certainly using RADV, which was not developed by AMD.

        I’m using whichever one Proton/Steam uses. I’m assuming its AMDVLK because its the ‘official’ one. I think I remember RADV being switched away from in Proton a year or two ago, but don’t hold me to that. I checked my enviromental variable “AMD_VULKAN_ICD” but didn’t see it set to anything.

        Whichever one I’m using, I get 120fps on my 3D games (playing No Man’s Sky and/or Baldur’s Gate 3 on the second monitor while typing) running them through Steam/Proton without a hiccup. Never a problem.

          The default driver used by Fedora is RADV. Steam/Proton does not choose your Vulkan driver. That’s why your games run well - you aren’t using the one made by AMD.
