Nvidia Vulkan Driver updated

I have some promising results with this new driver, as in Vulkan is already faster:

OpenGL
Average: 81.4 FPS (86.1 w/o extremes)
Extremes: 254.6 max, 30.6 min
Highs: 523 in 3.5 seconds (150.4 FPS)
Lows: 738 in 14.5 seconds (51.0 FPS
30-60 FPS: 14%
+ 60 FPS: 86%
Vulkan
Average: 88.6 FPS (89.3 w/o extremes)
Extremes: 405.7 max, 9.0 min
Highs: 74 in 0.5 seconds (144.2 FPS)
Lows: 64 in 1.5 seconds (42.5 FPS)
+ 60 FPS: 100%

That was the Talos Principle benchmark BTW.

@SuperTux

True, the benchmark is a killer, it really throws everything in and as you can see even in Windows DX runs below 60 FPS.
The gameplay itself though is not as bad as the benchmark suggests. If you watch the second part of the video you can see more than enough FPS at more than decent settings.

The Talos Principle now has a Linux beta build available with Vulkan

10-15 FPS difference for me too. But calm down.
I'm calm :)
I'm actually very glad to see already a game using Vulkan.

Don't do that, apart from the bugs that we get sometimes this is an awesome game.
You're loosing a good game.

I don't know...I played the demo for a bit, but I couldn't shook that "Unity Engine" feeling, from the graphics to the clumsy controls.
It certainly has something to show and still in an early stage, so there's hope.
