Quoting: jensFor the people that already use this driver, is this one on pair with 415.22.05 regarding Vulkan support? Does this driver e.g. knows the VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve extension?
aye it does:
vulkaninfo |grep depth_stencil
        VK_KHR_depth_stencil_resolve        : extension revision  1
Thanks a lot for grepping this! I guess I'm starting to understand how NVidia branches :). My guess is that the Vulkan enhancements of 418.31.03 (and other following point release) will then appear in the next major or minor stable release but not in another stable 418.31 release.

NVIDIA has a new Vulkan beta driver, fixes for Hitman 2 with DXVK and Total War Warhammer II

What are the effects of having VK_EXT_depth_clip_enable? Does having and using this extension by DXVK prevents some sort of clipping issues or is it more efficient/improves performance when setting this (once) on the driver side?

(I wish my knowledge would be better in graphics api domain..)

Wait... it works? Right, I know what's next on the wishlist... :)
Yep, out of the box with Steam Play. Unfortunately no intro-movie due to media foundation, though I consider this acceptable. Hell of fun to drive these GT3 monsters :)

Dark Souls III, first DLC - I consider myself a hero to have finished the main story, though I admit I used co-op to finish some of the later bosses. :)
Assetto Corsa Competizione - Really cool feeling with a Logitech G25.
Occasionally Two Point Hospital and Lego Jurassic Park, cool games to play together with kids.

I hope to spend some time soon into another round of Civ6 and Life is Strange BtS. Lets hope that it will take some time until Shadow of the Tomb Raider arrives on Linux, otherwise my backlogs will never decrease :)
