almost 3 months have passed since @driver1998 released his great guide (US-EN/ZH-CN) on how to retrofit older Snapdragon SoCs with graphics drivers for the Vulkan API.
The basics remain (the transfusion comes from the SD Elite's graphics drivers package), however there were some developments worth mentioning:
THE BAD - Qualcomm stopped / blocked the usage of the Vulkan ICD on older Snapdragon SoCs (back in April starting with v31.0.53)
No more hunting for the vulkan-1.dll, it's included
The accompanying command line tool vulkaninfo.exe, can display and export the supported Vulkan feature palett
THE UGLY - The few Vulkan applications I have tested so far (tech demos, benchmarks & games), produced mixed results - so there is no way around meticulous testing
Last but not least, let's gather additional information and compile a compatibility chart:
