Just like the recent hud driver rework https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/commit/255ab1a63c07ec47ac20eb4416e1287b195be349 enabled the hud to show the driver name, e.g. RADV, it would be nice if it was also printed in the dxvk log alongside the already present driver and api version.

Would be a nice little detail and might even help a few people who are using a different Vulkan driver than they think but don't know to spot it from the version number.

Not against this, but you can already tell e.g. AMDVLK and RADV clearly apart by the device name, a RADV device will always have RADV in the string somewhere, while AMDVLK is just $GPU_MARKETING_NAME.

True ofc. For that part i was more thinking from the perspective of someone new to this or not too well versed in it, like random Proton (and others) issue reporters

Sure, but amdvlk's driverName is AMD open-source driver, not sure if that really clears up much confusion in not too well versed folks.

Oh. Great catchy name :grin:
Never actually seen the canon in code name. Well that point may be less valid then :frog:

Not sure why github didn't auto-close.

Nothing extracted yet.
