Nvidia Video From SIGGRAPH Talks About Vulkan

Quoting: EikeI fear Vulkan will primarily be seen as a mobile API.
This fear is so far away from reality that it's even funny. :D
Windows will go with DirectX, it always did.
Apple can force whatever they like on their systems, and they already started to roll their own.
What big marktes are left - Linux or mobile?
Hmm...
Elke, Windows 10 supports DX 12.
7, 8.0 and 8.1 only DX 11/11.1/11.2

We have also the same problem as XP vs. Vista/Seven

And now comes Vulkan.

It supports following Desktop Distrubutions:

- All Linux distributions
- Windos XP, Vista, 7, 8.0, 8.1, 10 and newer
- Mac (If that Apple allows)

Windows 10 have ca. 20-30 Millions Installations.
Windows 8 has 165 Millions Installations. 200 Millions sells and from this sells are 35 Millions never used.
Windows 7 over 600 Millions sells and Installations.

Now come to these numbers still the pre-installed versions of Windows do so.

Now you can count Elke, why the dev should use Vulkan in Desktop Sektor.
