Gilanth Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Is there something i have to do to enable it? I Nvidia 1070 latest drivers so presume my card supports it. Just doesn't seem to be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 It's something that is enabled in the emulator itself, usually under the video settings. You will see something like video renderer or video backend with OpenGL, DIrect X, Direct 3D or something similar and you can change it to Vulkan depending on the emulator, not all emulators support it though.

Gilanth Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks for replying.

Lordmonkus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 You have to set the video driver for RA itself to Vulkan first I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilanth Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yes gone into driver field and changed but still no vulkan showing up on renderer i only get software and hardware all videos i have seen have vulkan or opengl as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 That is very strange. Though I bet there is a perfectly logical reason for it I can't think of a reason it's not showing as an option in the driver section of RA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have software/hardware in the quick menu also, but of course all the options in settings/drivers/video so I'm guessing it just uses what you have set globally????

Lordmonkus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 But it should be showing in the main RA menu under the driver settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yeah, im wondering if he is only looking in the quick menu? Because software/hardware are not options in the main settings. 41 minutes ago, Gilanth said: Yes gone into driver field and changed but still no vulkan showing up on renderer i only get software and hardware all videos i have seen have vulkan or opengl as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilanth Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yes changed fine in driver field. If it's not in the quick menu all is well then. Just watched a simply Austin video for setting up psx and he changes it in the quick menu (or appears to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have the same as you, a choice of Hardware or Software. Obviously you want hardware in order to use your GPU for internal scaling.

Lordmonkus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 It could be now that as long as your driver is set to Vulkan in the drivers menu then the core will be using it when it starts up. It's been a while since I have bothered to look at any of the Vulkan stuff, it offers no benefit to me in my setup and id rather have all the features bug free. That isn't to say I wouldn't switch over to Vulkan at some point in time but rather I feel they are still working the kinks out of it right now.
