can we forced game using vulcan, i mean from AMD adrenaline? or vulcan only available inside the game,

because maybe because iam using AMD, but vulcan more smooth gaming for me

For many games that support DX11 or 12, if they do lack a Vulkan option, you can often times force this via the DXVK files inserted into game folder, from a Linux disto. I've done that for games such as Death Stranding and God Of War, no problem on WinOS. It just is good if it already have Vulkan options.

Vulkan because not locked to the Microsoft ecosystem/ open source.

either one

vulkan is the new version of ogl

any game that can use vulkan can run on win 7-8
while games that only use dx12 need win 10 or later

dx11all day when possible

For example i've tested vulkan and dx12 on rdr2, for everyone vulkan had the better framerate, but in my case dx12 outperformed vulkan, maybe it's because of my gpu or idk

Doom (that modern remake) runs absolutely great with Vulkan. At least around here it did.

Vulkan may not work so good on older hardware.

You can't just look at the API as it's on game by game basis. Sometimes Vulkan is best choice but not always. But modern games that lack Vulkan, you can usually force it

Vulkan is good option on WinOS for modern games. Hoping that this update for ES2 that adds a PhysX option also changes from OpenGL 4.0 to Vulkan

But in terms of graphics, vulkan or dx12

It's the same really. Vulkan can provide better FPS and looks same. This can be seen/tested in some games such as the DOOM 2016 and Eternal as well as Red Dead 2

And like I've said, I've tried Vulkan for some WinOS games that were released as DX12 only, via DXVK

Win10 also has DirectStorage and DX12 Ultimate, not just Win11.
