Update your drivers, there's no issue here. We don't support outdated drivers anymore, RPCS3 requires new Vulkan extensions.
These are the latest drivers you can download from the Nvidia website regarding this graphic card 'GeForce GTX 870M' This is a notebook model graphic card and you can't download newer versions for this model. So Nvidia stopped after 425.31.0.0
Are you telling that I will only be able to use RPCS3 older version from now on as newer RPCS3 versions like the v0.0.14.xxxx don't support this card that has (older) Vulkan drivers any longer?
Look at this link: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/for...-gtx-870m/ So they tell the product is EOL and no longer new versions. So I assume RPCS3 v0.0.14.xxxx uses new vulkan extenions no longer available in my vulkan driver and therefore this graphic card is no longer supported by RPCS3 ?

There is a 1% possibility that I might be able to add the following driver to my old not support Nvidia Geforce GTX 870M
Driver branch: r445_85-2
This has: Vulkan API 1.1.126 support.
Will RPCS3 v0.0.14.xxxx work with this Vulkan API version?
I would like to know this before I go into all the hassle getting r445_85-2 up-and-running with modded .inf files etc. That will be hard and it would be sad to see if I get r445_85-2 working that this driver version with this Vulkan API version is still not supported.
Anyway possible users of RPCS3 will know what Vulkan API version is needed minimal for further releases?
FIXED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steps to update to 445.87 driver on kepler Nvidia Geforce GTX 870M on MSI GS70 2PE Stealth Pro.

3. Run 445.87-notebook-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe and driver will be extracted to c:\nvidia
4. When extracted and while setup window is open copy the driver to a safe place
5. Inside the folder Display.Driver of the copied driver replace nv_dispi.inf with this version: https://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/applic...hp?id=4092 (you need to be logged in in this forum. So make sure you have an account).
Preparation FINISHED!

NICE! BAM! VOILA!
Is it possbile to update the subject to: FIXED or SOLVED in front of the subject line?
Anyone else having this old kepler Nvidia card is able to upgrade to a higher driver version that is still supported by RPCS3 with Vulkan ;-)
