Vulkan VS OpenGL (AMD USERS ONLY) (POST USERS RESULTS HERE)

[MadDoggyca]

AMD RADEON VII

OPENGL (1080p)
-High settings
Stuttering massive mess between 40-80 fps with constaint microshutter

Vulkan (1080p)
-Max settings
120-160FPS steady frames..

For my self this is a massive win in the playablity department
Ill post my eye infinty results later (5970x1080) (no results under Opengl because that was a slide show last time I attempted that

[ΔυναμικοςΝοος]

i5 7600K, 16GB RAM, RX 580 8GB

1440p
OpenGL about 50 fps
Vulkan about exactly the same 50 fps

I have actually expected some performance gain kinda dissapointed.

BEFORE VULKAN:
Planetside I'd get about 30fps, with some stuttering, could get it up to 40-50 with harsh tweaking. A square room base would drop it to mid 20's. Getting close to a station would drop me to 18-24fps, and coming in to dock would drop to about 20. Low or High, settings didn't matter.

WITH VULKAN:
Everything stays at 60fps, which is what I have my cap set to in my video card control panel. It didn't budge. Planet ran perfect, flying to a station was perfect, docking was perfect, not a hitch in sight. Maxed settings

Ryzen 5 2600, RX580 8GB

Time to finally enjoy NMS

Is there a way to even tell if it uses Vulkan (I am in the experimental branch)?

what are you running. for an AMD Graphics card?

make sure you have vsync turned off.


Vega 56

1440p

Vulkan 80-100 fps

OpenGL was 30-45 1440

Huge improvement for me.

Is the Vulkan patch live or do I need to hit the "3xperimental" branch first?

experimental has it. Prod does not yet have the update.

Thanks!

I think it's Vulkan only now in the experimental version, these guys aren't switching between modes in the game.

I guess I might as well uninstall it again then.
Too bad, really, I was almost at a point where I thought I could actually play this.

HD 7870, which ironically is the card listed on the requirements on the store page.

Do I need to enable vulkan somehow after i get the experimental build, because the game still runs like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on an RX 570.

[ArabianIGoggles]

Getting over 100fps now. 1440/vega64. Now I can actually enjoy this game!

You have to put in the code: 3xperimental under the betas tab.

[Snake]

I did, I was running the game after the additional 3.8 gb update to experimental. Literally zero improvement.

30 fps on foot on planets, horrible freezes all the time, drops to 20-something every 30 seconds.

[JM@PT]

This API improved my performance by a good margin

running on an i5 5ghz and a RX580 [cld.pt]

Hopefully their future titles will run on this low level API or the AMD users are screwed

[Justiciar-]

AMD? Ew... No way. Why would I buy cheaper product for something I enjoy on a regular basis? Disgusting.

I get about 80-110 (max settings always, why wouldn't you do that???) on my Nvidia gpu with the current version. The experimental is in the process of being downloaded.

I'm fairly new to Vulkan, and I'm surprised to see such a significant reduction in CPU usage across all hardware. It has piqued my interest enough to try this out.

Edit: Tested. Basically no difference. Same stutters, same framerate. I guess this is a win for the kids whose single parents only buy the cheapest parts they can afford.

Lower your resolution, your GPU (I have the same) is bottlenecked at that resolution.
