FAQ: AMDVLK 2025.Q2.1
Q: Is AMDVLK better than RADV for gaming?
A: It depends—AMDVLK is AMD’s official driver, while RADV (Mesa) often has faster updates. Benchmark both for your use case.
Q: Does this support ray tracing on RDNA4?
A: While optimizations are included, full ray-tracing support depends on future updates.
Q: When will Hawk Point support reach stable Mesa?
A: Typically, RADV integration follows shortly after AMDVLK updates.
