ASUS AMD Drivers Don't Support Vulkan - G713QR
I installed Doom 2016 recently and have been trying to play it with Vulkan in order to get better performance. I have found that the drivers supplied through the MyAsus app and the ones that windows force updates don't support vulkan and prevent the game from running. However, the drivers that are installed through AMD's own auto-detect tool, and the adrenaline software do support Vulkan.
The issue however then becomes that when I've downloaded the drivers from AMD's tool instead of Asus, windows will then force update the drivers back to the non-vulkan supporting ones and also gimps the AMD adrenaline software that otherwise would provide updates.
This is very frustrating. I don't understand how the Asus drivers don't support Vulkan, is there a reason for that or is it just that they do very poorly with designating up-to-date drivers for their laptops?
I'm going to try to block the installation of these drivers with the windows show/hide app but I hope this is addressed in a more official way.
Specs: ASUS G713QR(2021), RTX3070, Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16gb.Last edited by wifisucks; 10-17-2021 at 06:56 AM.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd already tried the runtimes and it hadn't worked, I gave the binary a go but it doesn't work either. The only real fix I've found that seems to work is using drivers from AMD's installer.
I've attached the error report for reference. This is with the runtimes installed and binary in game folder. Doesn't seem to be a different error from before though.
I was looking online for anyone who may have had a similar issue and I came across this comment on reddit. Not much detail but they do also mention vulkan not working. :/

My current driver is a DCH. I update through Geforce Experience and I think it uses those automatically.
EDIT:
I have found a solution: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...ail/a_id/5182/
I already knew the newer drivers worked, however the second workaround listed here also works. Correct me if I'm wrong, I think that this workaround disables switchable graphics which is something I would rather not have to do. So if Asus could still address this issue in their AMD drivers, it would be preferred instead of having to disable functionalities.Last edited by wifisucks; 10-17-2021 at 07:14 PM.

Hi wifisucks,
Have you tried NVIDIA Graphic Driver V27.21.14.6173 and AMD Graphic V27.20.14044.2001 from our support site?
May I have the following information?
- the serial number of the laptop via PM
- the bios version
- OS version and OS build
- the driver version it works
Thank you.
