I wonder how Linux gaming would look like without a Feral guys. I would like to thank them and as well wish for many ports to come in the feature. :)

Judging by videos, game looks quite interesting, it also has some gorgeous graphics to show. Weird that they didn't put steamos icon to it.

Quoting: minjSeeing the weird benchmarks on higher end card seems like the CPU is the actual bottle-neck?

In theory this game is just begging for Vulkan.

I'm sorry, but Vulkan won't change much compared to OpenGL in regard to ported games. If the ported game is not written or optimized for OpenGL from the beginning, then there's a slim chance to get comparable results, and is always going to be behind in performance. This should change in the feature (i hope so) by choosing Vulkan as primary API. You can see what is OpenGL capable of in the latest Doom if the game is made for it from the start.

But if Apple adds a Vulkan support to their platform, then they have just created a bit awkward situation. If i look from their perspective, then what's the point to have two graphics API's on the same platform? It looks like they have wasted time and money to create another version of graphics library which is closer to hardware and was released before Vulkan was even announced.

I don't believe that the success of Vulkan depends on Apple, i think it's more up to game developers to see it as quality and well documented alternative to DirectX 12. I would even recommend more aggressive advertising in games.

Vulkan as a graphics API has already shown some impressive results in Doom 4 for Nvidia gtx 1080 presentation video. I'm more interested how it will perform on Linux with open source drivers.

My only wish are fixed graphic issues for AMD cards. Last time when I was trying to play I only got a black screen when the game started on opensource drivers and a plenty of glitches on proprietary drivers.

But if I'm not mistaken none of the current distributions is using any of the new display servers as a default yet. I hoped at least that Fedora 24 will use Wayland as a default, but unfortunatly it's still too unstable. Everything goes soooo slow.

As usual War Thunder with my amd config and opensource drivers

Regardless if it's coming or not to Linux, I still want to see it succeeding and becoming preferable API over DirectX for games. It's still win for us, more game developers adopt Vulkan, the higher are chances of porting games to Linux.

Is this running on their own engine or is this just Unity?
