My tests on vkcube have confirmed that the driver and vulkan are working, but when i launch a game like world of warcraft or any other and I look at the settings, my graphics card is set to llvmpipe. I guess it just doesnt register the graphic card at all. I am out of ideas, tried older driver, older kenrel. I downloaded Zorin OS pro yesterday, functions well but games do not run at all.
Please report back on,
sudo apt install inxi
inxi -Ga
Also how do you run the game(s)?

I run the games via steam or battle net (faugus launcher), both have same result
Is Steam installed as Flatpak or .deb/APT Version?
It is Fletpak.
Alright solved it. For anyone suffering the same problem, the games couldnt navigate towards drivers for 32bit apps (terminology might be wrong) and it always went for software rendering by processor. I tried to install steam APT version where they told me I needed to be compatible with 32bit apps and pointed me to the right libraries.
I used these commands:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-580:i386
sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 libvulkan1:i386
I am beginner at Linux dont judge me harshly.

No judging is required or necessary my friend, we all start out as newbs, and have to learn our way through, much like learning how to change your own oil in cars and lawn equipment.
Regarding processing bits, Linux used to support 32-bit software years ago. After a couple decades, support finally got phased out, in support of 64-bit computing, with an OS to match.
Its just the reality of technology, constantly changing, constantly evolving. Its always a learning process, and the older we are, the longer it takes us to learn. But never say to yourself that you can't learn!
It just means we need a little help sometimes. I think you are doing great, proof of that is, you already found terminal commands to help you, great job! 
I have been using GnuLinux for years now and I am still a newb.
