    I have a Redeon graphics card in my pc, so it might be worth mentioning that for them too.

    I do not own an Nvidia/GeForce Graphics card. On other hand, I have an AMD Radeon Graphics card installed on my computer ever since. So how it is possible that Vulcan Runtime Library got into my computer if its from Nvidia? I’m confused..

    Please…
    I have two versions of this “vulcan” software.
    newer 1.10.11.1
    older 1.0.3.0
    is it necessary to have both? or last version is enough?
    thanks in advance
