  11     The   fact   that   there   are  two  drivers  is  the  biggest
  12     headscratcher  from  AMD really since they started really doing
  13     a  good  job.  I  can't  see  why they are fragmenting that one
  14     specific thing rather than just slowly merging it into RADV.

  24         Because radv isn't their driver and amdvlk shares its code
  25         with the windows driver.
  26         But it's not that bad, as the biggest performance gains will
  27         likely come from optimizing llvm, which both drivers make use
  28         of*.
  29         Also it's not a problem to install two Vulkan drivers side by
  30         side so users could always do that if they really need both.
  31         * except for the pro stack, which uses a proprietary compiler
  32         shared with windows. I think their plan was to improve llvm
  33         and replace the proprietary compiler when llvm caught up in
  34         performance, but don't quote me on that
