We actually know quite a bit regarding Vulkan.

As for Vulkan we know nothing.ĭirectX 12 cannot run Vulkan games, and non Windows 10 Windows OSes with Vulkan support can still run DirectX games, so the point is moot. So far we know current graphics card support SOME DirectX 12 features, and the latest current series models from AMD and Nvidia support it in full. You also need a GPU compatible for Vulkan to use it. OpenGL/Vulkan and DirectX are completely distinct, following 2 different school of thought. And I've read that GTA V has DirectX 12 support, whether Rockstar has enabled it already or not I don't know, and whether it is running in the above video benchmark I don't know. Most games do not support DirectX 12 at this time, and going forward, it is possible that Vulkan will receive the greater support from developers. The Project Cars benchmark in the above posted video is using DirectX 12, and so it isn't a benchmark of Windows 10 versus 7, but of DirectX 12 versus DirectX 11. It isn't the same, as Windows 10 hasn't become the better performing OS for games, and I don't recall Windows 8 ever being said to perform worse than Windows 7 in performance (only compatibility). Takes time for manufacture to optimize drivers, it isn't a magic button you hit and voila, now you get amazing performance. It is once again, sites rushing out benchmarks from a day 1 release of an OS, where manufacture has just released their unoptimized, still has issues, drivers. Including Windows 8 performing worst than Windows 7 when Windows 8 was out, but now it isn't the case, how strange.
