4.0 beta 7 Vulkan failing on modern laptop

[Clonkex]

Godot version

v4.0.beta7.mono.official [0bb1e89]

System information

Windows 11, HP Omen 15 Ryzen 15-en0016ax Laptop w/ GTX 1660 Ti

Issue description

I've been trying to get 4.0 going on my laptop so I can work in my lunch break. I found that beta 3 didn't open at all, it just gave the generic error about being unable to find any suitable Vulkan or OpenGL drivers. With beta 6 and 7, the project list opens.

After trying to open a project on beta 7, Nvidia driver 525.something:

c:\Program Files\Godot\Godot_v4.0-beta7_mono_win64>Godot_v4.0-beta7_mono_win64_console.exe

Do you have a compatible Vulkan installable client driver (ICD) installed?

After trying to open the same project on beta 7, Nvidia driver 527.37 (latest at time of writing):

I can't see any reason it shouldn't be working. Supposedly my GPU has supported Vulkan 1.3 since the start of the year.

The integrated CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with an integrated "Radeon Graphics" GPU, so I wonder if it's trying to use that? But how would I know? I tried setting the Godot editor exe to High Performance in the Windows 11 settings menu under System > Display > Graphics but it seems to have no effect. However I noticed that setting it to Power Saving also had no effect and I got the same logs as above (including where it says GTX 1660), so perhaps it's not working.

Steps to reproduce

• Have my laptop
• Try to start Godot 4.0 beta 7 on it

Minimal reproduction project

N/A

It sounds like Godot is trying to use your CPU which may not have updated drivers.

If you run Godot with the --verbose command line argument, it should print out a list of available GPUs.

The full command on windows is:

./Godot_v4.0-beta7_win64.exe --verbose --rendering-driver vulkan

This will open the project settings with the vulkan renderer and should print out available GPUs, which one it selects, and information about the selected GPU
