AMDs Windows Vulkan driver has been terrible for DXVK recently. Your issue is most likely another one caused by driver bugs and there's not really anything we can do about it.

I tested Fallout New Vegas on Linux on an Nvidia GPU a few weeks ago and it worked great.

@K0bin Man, what would I do to trade this thing for a 4080 or something now?

I've also been having this issue myself. It took me awhile to figure out it was DXVK. My thought my GPU was dying.

To be honest, as much as it pains me to say, I ended up switching to
Nvidia.

Report it to AMD, it's their bug. We can't do anything about it.
