Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

What did you expect, that's how the GPU works.

imagine not understanding what a subpass is
imagine not understanding what memory allocation is
imagine not understanding what a semaphore is

You actually don't even need to know all that shit. You can just draw everything with pure compute shaders.

vulkan is a low level api like apples metal api. you have to do some extra work but you get way better performance than higher level apis like directx11 or opengl.

its not as complicayed if you give a shit about making a game and use unreal engine while shiving your gay optimisations up your asshole

>>105998167
wrong, not all drivers support copy-less swapchain presentation from compute shaders

Can't take the heat, get out of the bitcoin min-- I mean GPU.

> vulkan is a low level api
Vulkan is a fake low level api, the actual low-level stuff is done in gpu firmware.

>>105998377
lets hear it, what real low level stuff is happening there

>>105998377
spir-v job is to turn the code into something any gpu can read as long as it supports vulkan

>>105998065 (OP)
Use OpenGL if you want easy mode

>>105998377
I'd explain to you why you are dumb, but the irony is that you are too stupid to understand even that.

>>105998425
No, SPIR-V is just intermediate byte code. The drivers then compile this at runtime into instructions the GPU can understand. I mean, its even in the fucking name if you even bothered to actually understand how this stuff works. Hint: the IR stands for Intermediate Representation...

shiggy diggy
but you already knew that :)

>>105998065 (OP)
Because it's a low-level API. If you want something more abstract use OpenGL.
