The AMD open source Vulkan team has released a new version this morning.
https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/releases/tag/v-2019.Q1.9
Highlights include enabling of VK_EXT_memory_priority and VK_EXT_memory_budget for potential performance gains in titles supporting them. (or more stability at least in memory restricted situations)
The heapBudget values can be used as a guideline for how much total memory from each heap the process can use at any given time, before allocations may start failing or causing performance degradation.
They also added a few bug fixes including a memory leak... and mention CPU bound performance improvements for Mad Max.
Should find its way into rolling releases and PPAs shortly.... if your an impatient Ubuntu user the team has compiled a .deb package.
