AMDVLK 2025.Q2.1 Released With More Vulkan Extensions, Hawk Point 1 & 2 Support
AMDVLK 2025.Q2.1 was released today as the first update to this official open-source AMD Vulkan driver since the previous release in mid-March
It was rather late of AMD with their Hawk Point Ryzen 8000H/HS support only coming now to this open-source Vulkan driver but in any case it's here now at least. Other AMDVLK changes in this release include exposing more queues by default and more performance tuning around the Radeon RX 9070 / RDNA4 "Navi 48" GPUs. There is also bug fixes helping titles like Surge 2, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Far Cry, Kingdom Come, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and more.
