Feral Interactive have pushed out another Mad Max [Steam, Feral Store] patch for the Vulkan Beta, they claim to have improved Vulkan further, so I took a look.
First up, here's their changelog from the release notes:
They also note an issue they are keeping an eye on:
I did another round of benchmarks, this time focused solely on this beta vs the old beta for Vulkan performance.
Just as they said, Tyrant’s Lash has improved for me on every setting quite clearly there. The others are a bit hit and miss, but any that might seem like a regression are quite probably noise at around 5FPS each time, whereas the increases are double that and more.

First up, here's their changelog from the release notes:
Quote
- Fix for performance issue in kernel 4.9+ with lower core/hyperthread count. Previously this could be worked around with Steam offline mode.
- Improved Vulkan performance, particularly in Tyrant's Lash
- Added game version and graphics API to benchmark results
- AMDGPU-PRO 17.10 is now out and resolves the darker rendering issue
They also note an issue they are keeping an eye on:
QuoteVarious crashes with NVIDIA 381.09 Beta on Pascal GPUs

Quoting: dubigrasuActually some games should already be working with 367 it was on steamos?Quoting: fabry92Sry why steamos isn't supported? I can't run serious Sam vulkan too :(Probably the driver is too old? I run SteamOS too and I see no issues, but I install latest drivers myself.
I have now beta running 375.26, and even that doesn't change a single thing...
How many video outputs do you have?

Quoting: Vash63Quoting: catskinsoxI have a Pascal card, and it still crashes on the 381 drivers. I have gone back to the 378 drivers again.
Do other Vulkan games work for you on 381? I have a 1080 and I can't run SteamVR, Mad Max or Serious Sam Fusion for longer than 5 minutes on the 381 series. It seems to be just broken across all games and not game specific.
I'm really not sure how that got past Nvidia QA...
I was having trouble with Serious Sam even with 378. My computer would lock up before even getting into the game. Had to hard reset. I haven't tried again for a while, though.
