Alienware Interview Video About Their Steam Machine, SteamOS & The Future

Quoting: sonicI dont thik that GPU they use will have full Vulkan support, NVidia have some problems with asynchronous shaders.
Only on DirectX 12.
Vulkan works in a other way as dx 12 does.

AMD Radeon Software Crimson Driver Announced, Completely Redesigned From The Ground Up
6 Nov 2015 at 6:18 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestThis is indeed something currently windows only, and it hasn't been confirmed if it'll come to GNU/Linux at all. Being Qt does not mean it wil - as far as I've read elsewhere, the reasons were performance and stability, not portability.
That all being said, it's likely it will come through GNU/Linux in some form or other. I suspect not anytime soon though.
What makes you think that it is Windows only, if it is intended to replace the CCC?
I can read anywhere, that will be only for Windows software.

But Liam can ask his AMD Contact for this.

Alright, then I will instead be eagerly waiting for news of that driver being released any day now?..
The problem is, that driver won't help with the current games, will it?
The AMDGPU Driver do it. The AMDGPU is the new opneGL and Vulkan driver and for this driver it's the new GUI.

Quoting: subIs this Crimson stuff really about the driver?

It seems this is more about the UI of the control center.
And it's not even clear if this will also cover Linux.
I think they use QT as GUI scripting language for the reason: It's a multiplatform language.
KDE is written in QT too as exemple.

AMD could have use .NET, but they have not done.

As an NVIDIA user, I have to ask, why should I care how some settings panel looks if I can't play games with that driver*? There's some sarcastic comment to be put here but I'll pass in an effort not to offend anyone.

The Radeon Software is the new Interface for the Vulkandriver from AMD.
So i have understand it.

Why i wrote this?

The Driver Interface are written in QT.
So the Radeon Software can run completely on Linux and thats the reason why i wrote this to you AMD Linux Gamer.

But we will see how much we get on Linux from all the stuff in the Radeon Software.

Looks Like Nvidia Driver 358.66 Will Add Some Form Of Vulkan Support

Quoting: dimko
Quoting: BdMdesigNThe Ashes of Singularity Game will support Vulkan, i think ?!?

All the Game Dev's who supports Linux today, they will support Vulkan too.
They support also mantle and DX12. And no, not everyone who supports Linux will support Mantle.

I can imagine, porters who only port games from DX11 will not port to Vulcan. Same porters who port openGL game to Linux will not make it magically Vulcan game.
DX 11 = openGL
DX 12 = Vulkan

So all new Games will support Vulkan, if the Dev's/Publisher supports Linux today.
If it was a DirectX 11 to Linux Port, the Porting House will use openGL or Vulkan.

If you can do a Port faster on Vulkan, then the Dev will use Vulkan and not openGL.

Ashes of the Singularity:

Future Plans

Q: What platforms will Ashes of the Singularity be on?

A: Windows PC for now, but we are entirely confident that we’ll release Ashes on MacOS, SteamOS, and Linux. Oxide Games is part of the Khronos group, which is developing the next-gen Vulkan graphics API that should be the API of choice on those platforms. This gives us great confidence in getting Ashes and Nitrous running on those platforms in the not-too-distant future.

Valve don't support DX 12, they support Vulkan only.

Quoting: liamdaweValve haven't even enabled streaming for Linux yet!
If you mean the Steam Broadcasting, then I agree.
But did you mean In-Home Streaming, then i don't agree.
