Quoting: pete910Thanks for the info edddeduck, Some on phoronix was trying to figure out what OGL ver it needs.

Also, AMD GPU's seem to be running fine with the port. Well for me . Am I just lucky ? :S:
We develop using AMD (closed source drivers) as well as other drivers and we work with AMD reporting issues that we find during development. Although the game is not at a standard that we can declare official support on AMD yet many people should get a good experience it's just not quite good enough to declare official support yet. However we do hope to be able to announce official support in the future.
Thanks for the reply! ,Nice to know you are developing on AMD too, not just NV. ^_^

Someone on phoronix has given it a go with radeonsi iirc. Lots of miss rendered stuff.

Quoting: fraghopperTo clarify, Vulkan is Mantle, fixed to fit architectures other than AMD's gcn along with other changes like Nv's extras to hinder AMD's perf. OpenGL will live on and evolve as a higher level graphics API, as Vulkan is not for everyone.
Fixed that for you.
Fixed that fix for you.
Fixed that fix of a fix for you :P
