What is Vulkan?

Vulkan vs OpenGL performance:

It compares OpenGL to Vulkan in DOOM (AAA gaming title) on nVidia and AMD graphics cards. With Vulkan nVidia is no longer the default option when looking for a gaming graphics card and Windows is no longer the default option for gaming. The gaming industry is changing.

Passionat nearly a zealot :)
Who says that we are scared?
Also you kinda have to prove yourself, as you did, when putting up claims, even more so on the internet, where every brat can write of stuff.

I think it is great you try to come with feedback, just take others opinions in consideration :)

Also hope they nail the linux-version, for those who use that.

@Dreamforger:
I'll nibble just a little. You'll have to specify what you "think" I need to prove based on "which claim" and to whom I need to prove it. While you may specify, it does not guarantee that I will comply as I still maintain that I don't need to prove anything. Also, by extension/implication of your statement, every other forum member who has commented would have to prove themselves because of their claims. Let the credential spam commence.

Zealot: (def) a person who is fanatical and uncompromising in pursuit of their religious, political, or other ideals.

Fanatical: (def) filled with excessive and single-minded zeal.

Zeal: (def) great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective.

If I'm pursuing the causes of:
- getting access to native Linux client of the game for the purposes of testing and feedback
- wanting a true native optimized Linux game client versus a halfheartedly ported game client
- wanting access to a native optimized Linux game client on the same release date as the Windows client
...and I'm labeled a zealot/fanatic because of it then I'm OK with wearing the zealot/fanatic lapel pin. Keep in mind that I wasn't uncompromising or single minded in my pursuit as I stated that there were multiple ways to make a native Linux client available for testing during the current phase of the Wolcen project.

Seems like a lot of people are ignorant to Vulkan, They have no clue and are just a bunch of cucks bought into the fact that DX is the best APi and only API and gives the best performance ever. Vulkan will never be implemented due to the shear fact of politics. Also if this game supported Vulkan then it could be on all platforms and also cut frames down and preform better if you're a true gamer your all about gamers on all platforms not just one single platform that's crap anyways and with a user base of people that are here because it's the only place to go for gaming if Vulkan was used more users would be on other platforms and windows would not be so popular as all you fanboys say. Also here is a video that will blow all your minds.

So those bashing Vulkan you need to pull your head outta the sand and realize Vulkan is just a better API.

Go easy bro. Please don't use that language (cucks). We don't need to demean other people regardless of how the present their arguments (logical or illogical). Even if I demeaned others in this thread or any place else, please do not copy/emulate that behavior. If I demeaned others I need to do better. Also, this is a V-E-R-Y old thread.
