Its not going to be silver bullet. Most likely it will have near zero impact.
Most devs simply wont bother porting their existing games to Vulkan. Those who develop games right now, will not support Vulkan either. Some will, but number will be small.

This half year for sure there wont be too much exciting.
Big AAA titles will come out, as expected, the ones announced. But that's about it. Next half year is going to be more interesting though.

Be smart, don't give credit where it's not due. I have seen sexy sale there. And I didn't buy it, even though in a few places it was reported game is coming and I had too much saliva in my mouth, I held myself... So, f*** em. Don't buy it.

Paying full prise for good port - is worth it.

Quoting: EKRboiHaving the same GPU as Liam I suspect it will run fine for me.

Don't assume anything.

Out of two previous ports, 1 is not usable. Second is somewhat usable. I am buying to hit the nail on the head of the third game. I am on GTX 660. Resonable card no matter how you look at it.

This is going to be a nail in the coffin for me, 2 other games from Virtual Programming didn't work for me. If that thing also doesn't - work, it will be last "port" from them.

Quoting: kalinI plan to buy amd because of open source drivers and because vulkan.
Without amd probably there will be no vulkan

Wake me up when there will be games that actually use Vulkan.
I'd love to buy AMD for reasons of OSS drivers, but I don't find it good enough reason to dump Nvidia card that just works with no head aches and rapes AMD performance wise.

I am thinking about upgrade, but until I can see Vulkan games or games that don't run well on my GTX 660 - it's aint happening. Badly optimized games - I wont bother buying these.

Looks like I am not getting it.

I know who is porting it, and 2 games from them failed, one failed utterly.
So no, I shall pass this one out. ALL OTHER native games for me are working fine. I did not buy the this zomby/parkour emulator yet.

So, no...

Quoting: SmalokiWhile I really like the game so far, I haven't played nearly as much as I would have if it worked properly. Performance is perfectly fine, but the game crashes at random (using a FX 6300 and a GTX 760 with Nvidia's proprietary drivers). I have no idea what's causing it... there even was a thread on the Steam forums about this a while ago as well. Maybe they actually fixed that by now. I should probably give it another try.

practically the same setup as me and i assume you run ubuntu also, perhaps one silent crash to desktop but im not sure, i dont think it ever has crashed for me.

On AMD Cpu's you need to use 2 core's or less, that will stop the crashing (Not sure if Intel have this problem).

Right click on BioShock Infinite in steam, then go to Properties, then click "Set Launch Options" then enter:

taskset -c 0,3 %command%

Click ok, then close the Properties window then play without crashes, FPS might not be as good on 2 core's, Depends on the ghz of your CPU, runs 60+ on high with AMD 8350 and GTX 960 on 2 core's.

I was the guy who started thread in steam, where the "solution" was offered. It does delay but doesn't solve problem. And no, Linux gentoo user is here. But as said, only other game that gives me grief - Witcher 2. So I really don't think it was anything else.

Game constantly hangs after a few minutes, where it can be 2 inutes to 20 minutes. Impossible to enjoy.
I reported issue to devs, no reaction.

Issue only happens in Bioshock and Witcher.
