dx11 or vulkan

[Stannis The Mannis]

which is better

[MASTERCHIEF]

dx11. can link digital foundry video. and it fixed my hdr problem.

[Bunuffin]

DX11 is better windows... Vulkan runs better on linux (in general), I am playing on linux so i use vulkan...
Vulkan is harder to work with so i guess is not as well optimized as DX11

digital foundry showcased that DX11 gives you better performance in general on windows

[Scy]

since there is no dx12 option dx11

[Euphoria]

My game crashes constantly on vulkan, no issues with dx11 so far

[radblue]

I tried both, cant realy comment on performance as with my rig both ran fine but i did get crashes on Vulcan.Fixed this by disabling steam overlay the vulcan was stable.
As for looks Vulcan looked way better for me better for me, enough so that i tried diff things to stop the crashing.

I had weird flashing black boxes when using vulkan, dx11 works perfectly.

Like Mantle, I've only been able to get AMD GPU's to work w/ Vulkan. nVidia GPU's always crash trying to use those API's for me.

DX11.

Normally Vulkan should be better but it's just not implemented the best.

[Hobocop]

Vulkan works better than DX11 on my system with a GTX 1060 6GB.

So, definitely try both out for a bit.

Same

[Shizofrend]

usually vulkan looks bit better but dx is bit more stable. in bg3 case go with dx11.
vulkan crashes far more. however if u have new isntead of old pc than vulkan might not be too bad of a choice either

[Velovar]

If you have strong GPU then DX11

[12duhzen]

Vulkan seems to run cooler and smoother for me my 3070 on win10.

and I thought this was a problem of my rig...
got the boxes using vulkan, too!

UPD: someone mentioned that this bug occures with fog settings below "high"

Larian has stated that dx11 is default and vulkan is better but may not be as stable as dx11. I have no issues to report using vulcan. I didn't attempt any unnecessary graphics changes.
