    I googled how to install vulkan because I have some games that support it, and it said
    go here and get the latest runtime
    https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home
    VulkanRT-1.1.108.0-Installer.exe

    Is that correct ?

    It should be included in your drivers AFAIR.
    If your hardware is compatible did you install the latest drivers and try a game using Vulkan?

    That's the SDK with which you can develop Vulkan stuff yourself. The driver comes with the Vulkan run-time. No need to install anything.

    the sdk is 465mb

    Wolfenstein 2 was crashing installing new nv drivers fixed it

    ps: nvidia no longer allow to install the drivers without also installing the geforce experience

    Malware?
    Ransomware?
    Trojanware?
    Spyware?
    Unaware?

    It's the official site of the vulkan sdk developer for windows and linux
    I doubt it would be some scam to infect people with malware

    I'm not sure, I suppose it's a software implementation for developers w/o Vulkan compliant hardware or a reference implementation to test for correctness.

    Sort of a reference driver, that Makes sense
    I do have it installed but i'm thinking it may have been overwritten by the nvivia drivers
    and running the uninstaller will remove it.

    When I need the latest Vulkan beta extension/feature game updates for either Windows or Linux, I get drivers from the link below if you use an Nvidia card. BTW I install without Geforce Experience.
    The most recent is version 1.1.114,2019-07-08 and the site offers links to the latest official as well as developer beta drivers.
    https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

    Edit: Windows uninstaller works pretty well, but If you have a botched installation use Display Driver Uninstall (DDU).

    Whew, for a while I was thinking I wasn't going to be able to use any newer NV driver since I'm never going to install Geforce experience on my machine.
