If your video card does not have Vulkan API support, this – and any other – library from Vulkan package will not be on your system. It’s easy to check if you have Vulkan files on your PC:
- click RMB on Start;
- select Command Prompt (administrator) from the context menu;
- type VULKANINFO into the console and press ENTER.
The video card is guaranteed to have Vulkan API support, if the VulkanInfo utility displays a huge information summary of the relevant libraries in front of you. If there is nothing in the system console, i.e. it did not recognize the command, then your machine does not support Vulkan.
