Help me [ GTX 1660ti ] Vulkan driver cant detect.

[eNIGGmA]

I can't seem to run this game as it give the Vulkan error whenever I start the game.
I've installed the latest Nvidia Driver 431.60 and VulkanRT but it still give me the same error.
Also the game runs under Nvidia GPU as shown in Nvidia Control Panel.

Error message: https://imgur.com/a/gbVvyAO
Does it means I have the vulkan however my 1660ti doesnt get detected?
This is odd I've searched through Google and Forum , no one seems to have the issue where the error message like this.


Laptop Spec:
AMD Ryzen 7 3750H
GTX 1660Ti
16GB DDR4

Help me thanks....

[ Tried Experimental mode, still the same error :( ]

My issue is fixed. Method : Disable integrated GPU ( for me it is Vega Graphic ) in the device manager

Its a warning saying: The Vulkan driver currently on this machine reports no GPUs that support Vulkan. And the game just close after I click OK

Download DDU, restart in safe mode, and run it. Make sure to check the box to remove your vulkan library. Select the options on right to uninstall your GPU drivers, and make sure nvidia is selected, then complete the process.

Restart and install your GPU drivers again. Restart again.

This forces a full re-installation of your Vulkan libraries, which I suspect have become corrupt.

(you don't have to separately install Vulkan RT, all the files you need will be included in your GPU drivers. Remove it prior re-installing GPU drivers to ensure the separate install of vulkan libraries don't interfering with your game)

If that doesn't work:

The game may be trying to run off your iGPU. You could disable it in your BIOS to prevent it from working, or you could change your power plan and nvidia options to always use your more powerful GPU. Also, make sure you are trying to play while plugged in to power, your laptop may be configured to only use your iGPU if you're not plugged in.

Can you guys help with what Im experiencing, I have a GeForce GTX 1060 3gb, 8GB of RAM and a AMD Ryzen 5 2600x CPU. Before this update and before I upgraded to this processor, this game played on 60fps on high settings. Now when I load in its almost like Im not playing with a graphics card due to the low FPS. What is going on and is there a way to fix this? Im not sure whats going on.

I got the same error again even after the Graphic driver update, to make it clear and more specific, the iGPU disabling method works (suggested by Bilbo after edited comment) , what I did was I went to Device Manager and disabled my integrated card and the games works!

Hey, ive got the exact same issue and specs as you. You have an Asus Zephyrus G right? I went into device manager and disabled the igpu but now when i launch the game nothing happens. Did you go into device manager -> Display adaptors -> RX Vega 10 Graphics, right click and disable device?

Also did you install VulkanRT seperately to your 431.60 Nvidia Driver? If so, where did you install it from?
thanks

Sorry for the late reply,
I have an Asus TUF 505DU, and yes that is what I did ( disabling my Vega graphic ), and no I did not install VulkanRT as the vulkan is already included in the Nvidia Graphic Driver.

Same exact problem on the same system(Zephyrus G). I've followed the DDU steps exactly, and not for the first time since the Beyond update but it just doesn't work. My 1660Ti is just not being recognized as a vulkan GPU at all. Not ingame, not in vulkaninfo either. Here's a screenshot of my vulkaninfo if anyone could help I'd much appreciate it! :)

Weirdly enough, it works perfectly fine on my desktop with a 1080Ti and the same drivers. Everything is up to date, windows, nvidia drivers, perhaps Nvidia just broke the vulkan drivers? I'll try DDU again and install some older drivers when I have a moment but that's probably gonna be late Sunday.

Do you have an integrated GPU? looks like you do in that screenshot. If you do, just disable it in task manager and you should be good.

Yes, the vega 10. This did work, i've disabled the vega10 in device manager and even restarted but windows was all enlarged as if there were no drivers installed. The game actually launched, I was loading into the game as normal and vulkaninfo actually listed the proper things, but the game is capped at 3fps. I'm not too sure what that could be from. I just enabled the vega10 again and windows returned to normal. Forced the laptop to use 1660Ti in nvidia control panel for everything and the error is back.

It really sounds like it almost never uses the 1660ti if it's not even configured correctly for your display. Something definitely seems off with your configuration. Would you mind fully closing steam, disabling the Vega10, and then re-launching steam and getting your system specs from steam -> help -> system information?

Doing those steps will force steam to detect your correct 1660ti's driver environment. you can copy all that system information with a right click, and paste it here (Or just the GPU section if you prefer).

[Super Bambaspis]

Oh, I forgot! You used DDU, right? Lol, sorry, yeah the Display would be all the wrong resolution like that if you forgot to re-install the nvidia GPU package after using DDU :) That will be why your game was 3FPS, it'll be running on generic windows drivers.

double check that system information to make sure the drivers aren't installed (look at the driver date, or post here), and if they aren't, installed the correct driver package for your 1660ti.

Reinstalling the drivers is not always the right way to go. Before to start, go back to the Device Manager and unable the vega display adapter. You have in my view 2 options:

1 Go in Nvidia control panel -> Manage 3D Settings -> Global settings you should have an option to choose which Display Adapter you want to use. Also check the next tab (Program setting) and select No Man's Sky. Look for the same entry has the Global Settings Tab.

OR

2 Restart your laptop, then go to the bios. you should find in there your iGPU or GFX settings. Then disable the iGPU

I hope this can help you.
