I am running ubuntu 16.04.4 with budgie desktop - I just installed mesa's vulkan drivers, and when I run vulkaninfo, I can see the gpu it uses is my intel ivy bridge igpu instead of my radeon hd 7870. is there a way i can get it to use the proper gpu?
thanks!

It looks like the radeon driver is being used. I'm not sure if Vulkan is supported on that driver, or on your card. I'm also not sure if that card is supported by amdgpu driver either.

hmm ok - i have tried to install the amdgpu pro drivers with little success - i couldnt log in the last time i tried :(

hi dobey - this page seems to suggest the HD 7800 series cards are supported by the amdgpu pro driver? support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/…
