How to use Vulkan API Driver (DXVK, VKD3D) on STEAM DECK? What is Vulkan API? All answers here

let's discuss in this video how to use vulcan what is full canopy drive or differences between vulcan vkd 3d and dx vk well first of all let me tell you what vulcan is and after that i will show you how to use it here i will be i will tell you briefly vulcan basically see it you have to see vulcan like a middleman between your game and your hardware you will get better performance better usage for cpu and gpu with vulcan rp driver appy means application programming interface basically is that middleman that that will deliver you the best results vulcan driver it's anyway anyway it's better than um direct 3d 910 11 12 it doesn't matter and opengl and definitely you will see a huge improvement in your games you will have better frames sometimes almost double in in some games anyway any time when you see here vulcan for example here in in doom eternal i have the vulcan active um or if you see here v k d 3 d or d x v k they are the same basically the d x v k will translate um it's an r p that will translate your direct 3dx 91011 into vulcan and vkd3d will translate basically uh direct3d 12 into vulcan they are the same they do the same thing so stop with those comments explaining how different they are they are basically that it's an and that is an app application programming programming interface will translate will be the middleman between your uh your hardware and your game and you'll get the best results anyway let's go here on steam deck and let's see how to activate uh vulcan driver vulcan driver you have it already on your steam deck you have to go to system you have to to enter here os update channel you have to go for beta because only here they will allow you to use with os version 331 you will be able to to use vulcan driver before this i wasn't um it wasn't possible for me with that stable format to use vulcan drivers so this is the first step to activate basically your beta participation here for this os or to wait for uh for another stable operating system to be released anyway you need this one 331 it's an official way to get it and after that you can get um you can use vulcan driver but to use vulcan driver it's not it's not enough to do this every time for example um when you start the game let's go here i already have the the doom eternal active if you when you start the game and if you don't see here in the corner vulcan or vkd3d or dxvk if you don't see these three marks logos whatever you want to call them well you don't have vulcan active and you have to activate it if you see opengl or any other word that is not in this in this three vulcan vkd 3d or dxvk if you don't see any of them here you don't have the vulcan active and you have to go here press options go to properties for each game you have to do that press compatibility and here you have to press this force to use um a certain proton i have some other protons installed because um i want to use for example gears five you need the ge proton installed and for that you have to start to select um a version of proton for example you will select proton 638 maybe the vulcan will be active you will see it over there in that in that window here if you don't have the vulcan driver active choose another version of proton um every time when i um when i start a game in my videos i show what version of proton i use every time when i press here gaming for watch this this info in all my videos you will see here um which version of proton it's selected for me um and use it use that version of proton with that version of proton you will get the vulcan active because in all my games i activate the vulcan driver in normal with proton experimental you will get vulcan active in most of the games but not every time and you will you will have to use either vulcan exp proton experimental this one proton experimental or proton 704 most of the game will react very well and uh will give you access to to vulcan driver also um these uh the other three six five and five or ten uh will give you access to proton um to to vulcan driver in in many games so you have to be uh to be careful and to watch this info here when you start your games and to verify if you have the vulcan active or not let's start for example um let's start for example another game look i have here um let's go here to select another game let's take for example the control look when i press here game info i use proton 704 and with this one i get the volcano the vulcan driver active so this is it basically this is how you activate the vulcan driver and full canopy driver vulcan vulcan driver they are it's the same thing the full name it's vulcan rp driver vulcan application programming interface driver basically it will um it's an application and interface that will communicate between [Music] games and hardware as i said it's a middleman between a game and hardware that will deliver the fast response the fast result the better the best results for cpu and gpu so this is vulcan and here on steam deck you can use it um and you'll get impressive impressive results as you saw in my in my videos until uh until now as you've seen in my videos until now so every time when i post a video watch the presentation in the beginning for the game because i show you which version of proton i'm using for that game to have the vulcan driver active so basically this is it and for all of those um saying other things here in comments differences between vulcan rupee driver dxvk vkd3d well again stop with those comments you will get the same result vulcan vulcan driver it's active in all all the situations and you'll get the same result so um basically this is it if you have questions please write them here and i will try to to answer to answer to those questions thanks for being here on my channel thanks for supporting me i highly appreciate your comments um and again i can't reach to all of you and i can't answer all the comments because i have to create videos and i sorry i don't have time to to answer to all the questions most of them i see them and i'm trying to to reach you to answer so this is it thanks again for being here
