Vulkan

Installation

Intel GPU

Only SkyLake or newer Intel GPU generations officially support Vulkan.

Usually, if you have an Intel iGPU running with open source drivers (Mesa), the required packages should already be installed. If for some reason they aren't, run the following command:

sudo zypper in kernel-firmware-intel libdrm_intel1 libdrm_intel1-32bit libvulkan1 libvulkan1-32bit libvulkan_intel libvulkan_intel-32bit

AMD GPU

Only GCN 1 or newer AMD GPU generations officially support Vulkan.

Usually, if you have an AMD GPU running with open source drivers (Mesa), the required packages should already be installed. If for some reason they aren't, run the following command:

sudo zypper in kernel-firmware-amdgpu libdrm_amdgpu1 libdrm_amdgpu1-32bit libdrm_radeon1 libdrm_radeon1-32bit libvulkan_radeon libvulkan_radeon-32bit libvulkan1 libvulkan1-32bit

NVIDIA GPU

The closed source NVIDIA driver is not available by default. Please check which NVIDIA GPU you have and install the driver as described here: SDB:NVIDIA_drivers

For Vulkan support on NVIDIA drivers also run:

sudo zypper in libvulkan1 libvulkan1-32bit
