Intel
As of February 2023, Intel has split Vulkan driver support on Windows and on Linux. All drivers are developed by Intel.

On Windows, Skylake through Ice Lake supports up to Vulkan 1.3, with limited support going forward as future updates will only cover security fixes. Iris and higher are fully supported.

On Linux, there is incomplete Vulkan support for Haswell with it not being Vulkan 1.0 compliant, along with Haswell, Ivy Bridge and Broadwell are supported by a legacy Vulkan driver in Mesa called HASVK , with Skylake and newer being supported by a driver in Mesa called ANV.

AMD
On Windows, Vulkan 1.2 is supported from GCN 1.0 to GCN 3.0 , with no further updates planned. GCN 4.0 and newer support Vulkan 1.3.

On Linux there are various different Vulkan drivers with varying and overlapping hardware support. There is the open-source Vulkan driver called AMDVLK, developed by AMD which mirrors Windows support. There is also the proprietary driver called AMDGPU-PRO which is not recommended to be used for most users.

There is also the recommended driver called RADV in Mesa developed by Valve, Red Hat, Google and others. This driver supports all GCN and RDNA cards, however for GCN 1.0 through GCN 2.0 one must enable its experimental support in the amdgpu kernel module.

NVIDIA
On Windows and Linux there is the NVIDIA developed Vulkan driver which supports Vulkan 1.2 on Kepler cards with no further updates planned. Maxwell and newer support Vulkan 1.3.

On Linux there is an experimental, incomplete open-source Vulkan driver planned for Mesa called NVK which intends to support Turing and newer.
