It seems that it need a special, proprietary extensions for vulkan, to get the raytracing and the new compute cores.
They say that those extensions will come at the future (now you can only get it from directx on windows.
To get all of those raytracing efects (they only give you a partial raytracing), the games would have to be programmed specifically for those extensions. For the normal games, you will lose 1/3 or more of chip that won't be utilized.
It would be sold if they promised all those features with the current cores (or improved ones) and like amd implementing it with opencl (nvidia has probably one of the worse opencl compatibility of all).
And remember, linux support probably will be in half a year (or more), and it wont have wayland, or hi-res console support.
(And it's too expensive for me).

I tried this game, it uses unity. But if you want a retro game like that, try quake or blood, those are better.
