Hi, I wanted to use godot 4 beta version, and suddenly it didn’t let me use it because my gpu card driver “does not support” current vulkan drivers

My gpu is Quadro 2000m it has been released in 2011, but it has support for vulkan 1.3
May i ask why??? We won’t make unreal engine graphics with godot will we???

You can use the OpenGL renderer instead as described in this issue: Implement automatic OpenGL fallback for GPUs not supporting Vulkan · Issue #58927 · godotengine/godot · GitHub

My gpu is Quadro 2000m it has been released in 2011, but it has support for vulkan 1.3

This is not true. The Quadro 2000M has a Fermi GPU, which doesn’t support Vulkan on any operating system. The first NVIDIA GPUs to support Vulkan are Kepler on desktop, and Maxwell on laptop.

My apologies, It’s seems like a misunderstand what my gpu support
Sorry again for bothering
