AMD 780M Vulkan renderer leads to corrupted textures

Current Behavior

Enabling vulkan on rdna 3 based cards, such as 780m igpus break pebbles and textures in-game. Also broken shadows that eventually garble and have corrupted textures. Observed in MK8 and BOTW. No graphical or texture enhancements applied, can be replicated on two seperate 780m devices

Vram allocation does not change anything. Only fixed by changing renderer to OpenGL, and seems to be Rdna3/780m specific. Was unable to test on a discrete rdna3 card, no issue on Rdna2 and Nvidia counterparts (6800xt and 3070)

Expected Behavior

Nil graphical issues and not garbled textures

Steps to Reproduce

Enabling vulkan renderer Playing any game: Breath of the wild etc
