My Lgpu is quite old(radeon 7000) but still quite capable, i want to run pre 2012 games but unfortunately Vulkan is not supported by my gpu does such a software exist?
WineD3D translates to OpenGL. Assuming you’re using Linux, it’s as easy as running your programs in wine without DXVK.
Don’t expect stellar performance though.
You can actually get Vulkan on GCN 1 and 2 cards through the AMDGPU driver set. It’s just not enabled by default because support is in beta status limbo. YMMV though because a reason I remember upgrading from an R9 280 (HD 7950 refresh) was to get better driver support.

This. Can confirm that it will work as I’ve used vulkan on an old Radeon HD7770, also on a R9 390. Basically you need a kernel parameter in the bootloader config to enable AMDGPU driver.
Sigh, miss my little R9 270
I used this trick on my old laptop, which my dad now uses as a light gaming PC. Works well for StarCraft and Rocket League! Even DOOM (2016) works well on low/medium settings. Don’t remember which GPU but it wasn’t very high powered even when it came out in 2014.
