Automatic check if Vulkan is supported

Is it possible for Ubuntu to check and give a clear message if my GPU is Vulkan-compatible?

I spent a lot of time troubleshooting why Vulkan doesn't work on my system:

$ vulkaninfo

I've got NVIDIA GT 520 with latest driver installed, but many hours later it appeared that my GPU is just not in the list of supported technology

I expected Ubuntu to warn me that there is no support for my GPU. Why it doesn't happen? Is it possible to do such check on a system level? If not, then can there be a protocol for vendors to at least provide lists of cards with explanation?
