Vulkan Hardware Capability Viewer 1.4 released

A new version of the Vulkan Hardware Capability Viewer is now available for all platforms (Windows, Linux, Android). This is the biggest update since I released this tool, including lots of new features that also brought along a few changes to the online database. I also decided to drop the “beta” tag now that more than 1,300 reports have been uploaded, making this the first non-beta release of the Vulkan Hardware Capability viewer.

New features

  • Added support for new features and properties provided via VK_KHR_GET_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PROPERTIES_2

    • Currently supported:

  • Reports can now be saved to disk via command line using the -s argument (without invoking the UI)

  • Added pipeline cache UUID

  • Exported JSON is now compatible with vkjson_info from LunarG SDK

Screenshots

Aside from the changes to the client application, the online database now also displays all values that have added in this update, does server-side processing.

I also added an api to the online database to fetch reports as json in a vkjson_info compatible format (only newer reports uploaded with this version). If you have interest in getting access to that data (and api) please drop me a line.

You can download the new version from https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/download.php.

Note that the Android version available on the playstore may take a while to update.
