Perhaps this is in my opinion the biggest problem in development, new features instead of solving past problems. Always encouraging for new hardware where it is often unnecessary.

Quoting: Xpanderi just cant make the benchmark work.. using the script, no errors in terminal, all launches fine but game is just waiting in the main menu and doing nothing.

adding all this crap into launch options - game is waiting in the main menu doing nothing

adding -console or +con_enable 1 - makes the game go to main menu but i cant find the key to bring up the console, tried like all the keys on my keyboard

You can add one key bind for console in Dota2 Options, just select Advanced Options in bottom screen.

Thanks for sharing, i love it :-)

Here my results using benchvulkan2.dem:
i5 4670k @ 4.4ghz - 8gb ram ddr3 2100 @ 2400 - GTX970 G1 Gaming - Asus Z97-Pro
Slackware64 Current - Kernel 4.6.2

Vulkan - 124 FPS
OpenGL - 126 FPS

But minimum FPS Vulkan is a lot better and max FPS OpenGL is better.

I will keep with vulkan

Edit: I was using in video options "Ultra Shadow Quality"
Now with HIGH Settings

Vulkan - 129 FPS
OpenGL - 130.7 FPS

Edit2: Now benchmark using Windows 10 Pro x64
DX9 - 139.8 FPS
DX11 - 117.3 FPS
Vulkan - 150.3 FPS
