Old vid. One system.

Go with Vulkan unless you experience issues.

As per the recommendation from Larian.

same is true for you comment ... runs better on one system, yours

Go with DX11 unless you have issues

5-6 years ago Vulkan was much more superior when it came to performance, now it really doesnt matter, both perform equally good

Vulkan still improves performance by reducing and utilizing overhead better..

not factual

[Astariol]

Vulkan. Completely cleared up the stutter for me.

[Luvz]

Had one crash with Vulkan. Had none with DX11.

That being said, I only have about 3 hours of playtime total so it's not a reliable sample size.

[BeanBoxer]

For some reason the game just refuses to open if I use Vulcan

[soul like that be capable of]

i used valukan i have 3080 with I9 10900 and 32 gb. max settings on 4k with dlss most of time in high 90s FPS . smooth . really depends on your pc

But we're not saying the same things, silly. Just to clarify, I've never brought up the topic of 'my system' or alluded to 'a system' at any point.

The source I'm quoting is actually straight from Larian's advice, something I'd refer to irrespective of my choice of renderer.

Vulcan seems very unstable. Crashing left and right. Dx11 hasn't had a single crash for me so far.

DX11 crashed my video card, i tried volkan runs well so far. FSR causes artifacts sometimes, switch that off.

my game is crashing a lot with either dx11 or vulkan. not sure what to do. running on a rx 7900xtx and ryzen 5 3700x. latest amd driver, fresh windows installation a couple of days ago. tried verfying game files, nothing changed. i'm re-installing the game rn. haven't played in early access, so it is a fresh save.

According to the FAQ on Larian's website, DX11 is likely to be more stable for now. Vulkan is capable of using more CPU threads tho, so may be smoother if it works okay for you. Update GPU drivers from either AMD or nVidia and make sure all your dotnet stuff is fully up to date if you're having issues
