Thread 715637649

Steam Deck wouldn't exist without it.
Millions of people wouldn't be gaming on Linux today without it.

Good for emulation

The NShitia seethe is real

>>715637790
Show me your AMD card that outperforms my Nvidia card.

>>715637854
Still waiting. I have a nearly 3 year old GPU that beats that 9070.

>>715637649 (OP)
Used to play siege last year with vulkan. Then ubi axed the api from the game and the games perf took a nose dive on dx12.
10 year old game btw.

DXVK being the hero we need but don't deserve.

so how did i make a vulkan renderer that can do both of those then

The most opinionated individuals tend to know the least

>>715638465
I dunno, why would you lie on the internet?

>>715637831
With vulkan? That's pretty much every card

>>715638897
fortnite is one of the jankiest games I've played, not just shit performance but it crashes all the time and every loading screen is a crapshoot that kicks me out of games after taking too long
one of the greatest examples of how fundamentally retarded modern gamedev is, what's the point of boasting some supposedly super tech if it doesn't work?

Now show you running it.

FUCK VULKAN

>>715638291
DXVK saved me so many times.
It's literal magic.

>>715639478
Notice all these threads are about poorfag GPUs and resolutions?

It's actually that microsoft paid nvidia to gimp their vulkan impl in favor of dx12

But vulkan works with my nvidia cards.

Thanks you teamRed-chads

>>715640029
The picture is like a decade old and was when nvidia had really ,really shit support for vulkan. This of course meant the fanboys crawled out of the woodwork to declare it shit because, y'know, nvidia is sacrosanct.

>>715639703
how about fuck you, the 980ti is a monster

The newest Nshitia tech demo called Doom Dark Ages literally runs on Vulkan-only.

Gross.

>>715637649 (OP)
That's not the logo of DirectX 12.
Vulkan is genuinely the best thing that has happened to graphics APIs in decades.

>>715640309
having the same performance as the old API that hasn't been updated in 7 years is pathetic to say the least, especially with the added baggage of being harder to dev for and shader stutter bullshit, literally the definition of not justifying itself

>>715637649 (OP)
PoE runs better on it than DX12

>>715640463
never have I seen a clear cut example of vulkan or DX12 being superior than OpenGL when available

>translating dx9/10/11 to vulkan makes it run better (dxvk)

Microsoft lost. Get over it.

>People unironically use DX versions after 9
Why? They're not even compatible with any good Windows versions.

>>715640592
Sounds like a you problem.

>>715640775
But no games use Vulkan because open source is cancer.

But everything you said is objectively untrue (and retarded)

What went wrong?

But no games use Vulkan, and open source is cancer, so it's all true.

Nothing - it did exactly what AMD and whats-his-name at DICE wanted it to do.

>>715638465
by writing it to use multithreading and async

>>715637649 (OP)
Linux gayming relies almost entirely on it. That alone justifies its existence

>>715638465
dunno what year this post is from, but nvidia cards had poor support for vulkan at the start because vulkan is based on mantle - amd's api that they created and had their cards support it before vulkan even became a thing.

>>715637649 (OP)
Vulkan is so much better than Direct Shits it's unreal, every single game with Vulkan support runs better than it does on DX, it doesn't matter which GPU you have, it's a net gain for both AMD and Nvidia cards

>>715642460
The main point of vulkan (from its mantle roots) was for AMD to pick a fight with intel.

>>715639216
I agree. It's crazy that Unreal Engine 5's signature most optimized game runs like fucking shit.

Why would you ever want printer support? No, don't be silly. Now support for your hackerphone is CRITICAL, TOP PRIORITY.

>>715637851
This is true, radeon are so bad running dx11 games and they made mantle for band aid.

DX12 wouldn't even exist without it.

every time

>>715643363
It was never about gpus - it was about cpu thoughput. Namely not being so dependant on a single thread as bulldozer and the upcoming zen had Intel beat in MT performance but couldn't match them at all if you just wanted a single cpu thread to scream along. The more effective use of the cpu also smoothed over a lot of the issues the radeon drivers had with strangling a single cpu thread but this was never the main goal.

>justified its existence
Linux, and being better than DirectShit 12.

Vulkan (Mantle) has shat on DirectX ever since release.

Swedes at DICE (before they bailed from the flaming plane) was cookin. Shame they've all scattered to the winds because Mantle 2.0 would kill DirectX dead.

>>715637851
>whining about Vulkan excluding hardware while mentioning CUDA as a workaround in the same post
Ok that's pretty funny.

>>715637649 (OP)
are you retarded

>>715640770
DX10 was alright. It was 11 and 12 that were dogshit.

But 10 didn't really justify its existence, if we're being honest famalam.

>>715642879
Make them yourself. You DO know how to code, don't you? After all, the Demonrats wanted you to do that.

>>715637851
Bullshit
Doom 2016 runs way better with Vulkan even if I'm using an Nvidia card.

>>715645623
It didn't when vulkan was first patched into the game.

Notice how no vulkan games have sli/crossfire support because that is blocked by AMD.

>>715646114
no vulkan games have sli or crossfire support because nobody uses that garbage

>>715637649 (OP)
Objectively better but devs are too lazy to learn anything that isn't Directx, UE and Unity

Explain this shit. In layman terms, please.

>>715647927
DXVK cures the DX cancer via injection.

>>715637649 (OP)
It's the best graphical API, but the microsoft money keeps DX12 on top.
