This can be downloaded from https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver. A Debian packaged version of this driver can be found in the "NVIDIA Development Drivers" PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia-dev/+packages. If you're also using the graphics-drivers PPA, make sure the nvidia-dev PPA is pinned higher to use its driver over the nvidia-375 package in the graphics-drivers PPA.
