vulkaninfo cannot get info on GPU 1 only
Hi,
Unless I completely misunderstand how to use the vulkaninfo
tool on the command line, there's something strange afoot here..
If I run the tool without any arguments, I get a list like this:
Layers: count = 4
=================
VK_LAYER_INTEL_nullhw (INTEL NULL HW) Vulkan version 1.1.73, layer version 1:
Layer Extensions: count = 0
Devices: count = 3
GPU id = 0 (AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV REMBRANDT))
Layer-Device Extensions: count = 0
GPU id = 1 (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU)
Layer-Device Extensions: count = 0
GPU id = 2 (llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 256 bits))
Layer-Device Extensions: count = 0
[...]
According to the help message (vulkaninfo --help
) I should be able to get info on a select GPU:
[-j=<gpu-number>, --json=<gpu-number>]
For a multi-gpu system, a single gpu can be targetted by
specifying the gpu-number associated with the gpu of
interest. This number can be determined by running
vulkaninfo without any options specified.
And then I try to run it like this:
vulkaninfo -j=1
-- but I only get the help message, alluring the fact that I'm possibly using the tool in the wrong way. And I do not want a JSON output, but rather text, which is more easily readable.
Platform is Ubuntu 23.04.
