Quoting: wojtek88
the performance penalty of using Vulkan with the Steam Overlay seems to be mostly fixed.
Will you redo The Talos of Principle tests for Vulkan with Steam overlay turned on?
Probably :)

Quoting: linuxgamerOMG, nice. Too bad I haven't finished Payday 2 yet.
That's not really a game you "finish" :P

Updated article. Just having the Steam Overlay on won't actually affect Vulkan until something is rendered with it (fps counter, notification pop ups). Still best to just turn it off.

We're seeing between 22-32FPS difference here depending on the resolution. Vulkan is performing better than OpenGL for it already (for my 980ti at least). That's really encouraging.

Don't know if you were writing that comment before seeing the updated article or not.

Hopefully sometime Valve will look into what's causing the Steam Overlay to bring down Vulkan performance.

Article updated, xpander noted to me in the IRC that Steam Overlay brings the performance down.

I have re-done some tests with Steam Overlay turned off. Page 2 hosts the Steam Overlay on benchmarks.

Quoting: FredOHow did the "red" team get so many tanks at the end of the 2nd game? What determines how much you can build during the battle?
How many points you capture, including how many ammo/fuel dumps you have. They kept us too busy with pushing to notice they were building up.

I've been sent a key, so I should have thoughts up sometime soon.

We have to do it around this time due to both myself and Feral being UK based, so we have to work on UK times I'm afraid.
