Here's Qualcomm Update site for it. I'll add it to the op.

https://developer.qualcomm.com/software/adreno-gpu-sdk/tools

Adreno 530 GPU

The Adreno 530 GPU is embedded into the latest Snapdragon 820 processor. Adreno 530 GPU offers:

In comparison with the predecessor Adreno 430 GPU*

Up to 50% better graphics performance

Up to 40% more power efficient

Up to 40% faster General-Purpose GPU (GPGPU) performance

Advanced API support, including OpenGL ES 3.2† to help enable more-complex and more-efficient mobile 3D graphics for apps and games.

A530 will be the first GPU to support new Vulkan API. Vulkan enables the next generation of graphics performance by adding multi-threaded command buffer generation and explicit control of advanced graphics capabilities within Snapdragon’s Adreno GPUs

Shared Virtual memory that enables simultaneous data sharing between the OpenCL host and the GPU.

Vulkan API Support

Qualcomm is on the Board of Promoters for Khronos Group. Its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI), has announced support for Vulkan™ starting with the Adreno 530 GPU in the Snapdragon 820 processor.

Qualcomm is also announcing upcoming support for Vulkan in QTI’s developer tools, including Snapdragon Profiler and the Adreno SDK. Qualcomm will also be releasing a community edition of user-mode Vulkan driver binaries for Adreno A4xx and A5xx GPUs† soon. You can use these tools with the Vulkan API as part of the process of optimizing your apps for commercial devices powered by the Snapdragon 820 processor.

So PPSSPP just updated their app to support vulkan meow and there's a review (not that I put much stock into reviews nowadays) on there that says it runs alot better now on his V20. Now I've tried it and it constantly tells me error and to restart device and try again and I remember there being older posts saying that the H918 version doesn't seem to have Vulcan.

Now my question does this add vulcan to the phone or is it purely just an update for the versions that already have it??
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NippleSauce:
Did you wipe your dalvik/cache after flashing the updated drivers?

I'm on the H918 and it runs very well with the new drivers =p

Can't say it's an extremely noticeable difference but it certainly didn't degrade performance
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KUSOsan:
Well actually my inquiry was mainly related to just the vulkan aspect as I have no problems running games from what I've tried.

I have cleared the dalvik and cache quite a few times since I've installed these for other mods I've played around with and I was mainly curious about the Vulkan stuff since I've been reading more about recently.

I've wiped them both again just to try it and see if it runs

Appreciate your help

{{{Edit}}} it works now after restarting. So it either just needed a simple reboot or it needed the cache wipe not sure as I just did both at the same time

Dont think so, qualcomm abandoned adreno 530 support.

Only different drivers will be on oreo update.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BAFLGV20:
From what i can tell the H918 (T-Mobile) variant (Nougat) doesn't run the Vulkan API for reasons beyond me. Games like HIT, Vainglory, NFS. Support the Vulkan API but when you run them on the H918 it force loads the OpenGL 3.2 API even if the capsviewer or aida64 says that the Vulkan driver is there, it's not used. What this update zip is supposed to do is load the rest of the Vulkan API drivers so that the actual Vulkan API will be used in games that support it. (Supposedly) and when you play the Vulkan version of the supported games they'll run noticeably better and with less demand on the cpu and battery. It runs the applications or game's in a parallel manner and spreads the load across all cores on the cpu and all the ALU's (streaming processors) on the GPU. ( the Adreno 530 has 256 ALU's just like the nvidia Tegra X1 (Maxwell). As an example i have a PC i built in 2007 that was high end then. EVGA 680i sli, q6600,8GB 800MHz ram. but updated it with a GTX 1050ti and it plays all Vulkan based games at ultra settings 1080p 60 fps locked. DOOM 2016, Wolfenstein 2 collossus. Just to name a couple. That shows how well Vulkan can run games on hardware that's not all that powerful but is capable of great performance. 1 way to test if it's using Vulkan download the game HIT from the play store and when you launch the game go into settings and graphics. If it lets you choose level 6 details then the Vulkan API is working. I have not tested this.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] PhantomGamers:
One of these two statements is false as even with these drivers installed I can not set HIT to graphics level 6.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] xdamember143:
+1
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KUSOsan:
Even before installing these updates, I noticed a big difference in performance when they updated the PSP emulator to support Vulcan. I'm not very knowledgeable on the technical details but based on my experience with the performance difference between the open gl option and the Vulcan setting using that app I would say that before these driver updates, the V20 does support Vulcan or at least the H918 TMobile variant does.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] will5:
Yes, as I said before. Vulkan works on most v20. But this driver add additional vulkan commands/libraries/whatever. Emulators like dolphin just crash with stock vulkan driver. With this one, works, is not playable at all but doesnt crash.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] xdamember143:
Im guessing this won't work with Oreo
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KUSOsan:
I'm no expert but I doubt it as oreo has it's own specific driver and that would be downgrading if I'm not mistaken
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BAFLGV20:
Using emulators and 3rd party apps, they may have the option to use Vulkan. But there are parts of it missing specifically (max clip distances, max cull distances, max combined clip and cull distances). There may be others too. It would be like having an nvidia graphics card with physX and not having the drivers installed to use physX. You would be able to play the game but wouldn't have all the cool effects. Getting the Vulkan API to work before or after using this zip seems to be a challenge to me. Has anyone been able to actually get the Vulkan API to work on any officially supported games. (not emulators). maybe a new openGLtools is in the works to force the Vulkan API to load.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] KUSOsan:
I tried the level 6 setting on HIT after updating the drivers and it wouldn't load. Kept saying unsupported graphics or something to that effect. I'll try the other games listed earlier to see.

<<<<<<UPDATE>>>>>>>>

If anyone is interested I have tried the other games listed as VULKAN capable and so far couldn't get a single one of them to switch over to Vulkan. It could be that perhaps it was auto detected and switches automatically not sure but I tried about 4 other games and not a single one had an option to enable or activate the VULKAN setting. The only one that had an option for switching to a higher graphics mode was HIT. Kinda sucks considering how much better the PPSSPP emulator runs with VULKAN support.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] EpicGtab:
Unfortunately it's only meant for certain devices. Like the Samsung S7 edge has the option to level 6

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jaysonic88:
Point taken, but do you need to be so heavy handed? What after all are forums for if not asking questions? There are 10,000 other posts asking if development of one thing or another is still alive. I don't think it was an egregious question.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Redline:
The problem with updating something like this is that unless the OEM has updated the drivers for the OS version that this mod is originally from (7.0, 7.1, etc) then the only way to 'update' them would be to extract them from a newer OS version (like LineageOS 15.1 which is Android 8.1 for example) and once you do that, you would (I presume) run into the issue of the blobs being different, in which case you'd mess up the ROM. It's likely that until someone like LG updates one of the V20's to stock Android 8, we won't see updated drivers for the SoC. Even then, because of the blobs not being cross-compatible as I said above, it's likely you couldn't update them on Android 7 since they'd only be for Android 8.x.

I've confirmed that LineageOS uses newer, AOSP drivers for Adreno, Vulkan and the 820/821 SoC in general but, again, because of blobs, they're useless on stock Android 7. Android 7 at its core might not even have support for things like added instructions in the drivers themselves that Android 8 has support for. My best advice for if you want the best graphics (and overall) and best performance out of your phone, is to move to an AOSP-based ROM like LineageOS 15.1 by x86cpu so you can have a bloat-free, faster, more fluid experience overall. The graphics performance is certainly better on Lineage vs stock, I can say that much.

Then what is the point of buying the LG v20? LOS can't use the quad dac.

LOS is pointless on this device. Just like using V4A and any other audio mod. Can't use the quad dac.

Then you have other features that become useless
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Redline:
LOS 15.1 has had a working quad-DAC for a while now. Changes were implemented over time and tests done to ensure that it's working. Gamma kernel even has an option (somewhere, I'm not sure exactly where) to toggle the DAC on/off. Audio is set to offload to the DAC, and in the 15.1 thread there was recently a file posted that brings the audio more back to stock quality (though I've personally tweaked the LOS DAC setup and I prefer it). I'm not sure where everyone gets the idea that the DAC doesn't work with LineageOS, because I've got a set of headphones that take advantage of the DAC, and I can notice the difference between it being on and off. Besides, you don't need these drivers anymore with LineageOS because they already come with newer ones, as will the recently released Oreo 8.0 update for the device.

If you think LOS is pointless on this device, then you should stay on stock. My 7 hours of screen-on-time says otherwise.
