The UNIGINE engine will get Vulkan support this year

It was supposed to be ground up Vulkan/DX12 wasn't it?

Sure I remember reading it on phoronix or somewhere last year

Quoting: pete910It is brutal on GPU's tbh, also the openGL implementation is nowhere near the perf of DX from the scores I've seen.

From what I can find the Win10/DX11 results are very close to the Linux/OpenGL looking at Average FPS:

Windows 10 DirextX (1080ti - Extreme setting - 46 FPS):

Linux OpenGL: (1080ti - Extreme setting - 44.5 FPS)

Take his benches with a bucket of salt, Why on earth he cant just use the actual score that the bench produces is beyond me.

1080's are averaging 4500 in windows. mine is 3225, so like I said, not even close.

Need to see the score as to determine how Phoronix and everybody elses stacks up, Showing the average is only part of the benchmark final score

Quoting: sataniceastI'm also got few wm freezes with Vulkan until i've disabled Steam overlay.

The game runs really great on my 1080 GTX with NVIDIA drivers, the difference between OpenGL and Vulkan is almost double sometimes.

Same card @ 1440p I've got an average of 60 - 70. 190 ish ogl to 250 ish vulkan.

Shame it locks up on the next map load. May try the steam overlay trick later
