Quoting: Guest@dpanter : it seems Vulkan enables to get great results with a lower CPU, I think that's the point ! But does it make use of all the cores / threads of an i7 ? Just wondering.

Seems to use all cores just fine. Hovering around 50-60% CPU usage overall with even spread over all 8 virtual cores. I'm also forcing Full Composition Pipeline since KDE tears like a bitch without it.
A quick test with performance governor actually gave a slight boost, with Very high settings the overall fps increased ~6% from 129 to 137. These numbers are based on single runs so they might fluctuate a bit anyway.
7 year old CPU still going somewhat strong! :)

BTW, running Debian sid yields some... interesting... side effects from time to time. Proceed with caution. ;)
But yeah, it's reasonably quick in getting fresh packages out.

What about an older, weaker CPU with a newer, stronger GPU?
i7 2600K@4GHz, 16 GB RAM@1866MHz, GTX1080Ti 390.48, Debian sid (kernel 4.15, powersave governor), KDE Plasma 5.12.4
As you can see, the lows are quite low and the highs quite high. If you were wondering, I rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Haven't played yet but it should be fine on Very high. :)

Absolutely everything maxed + SSAA x4: Overall 72 fps
Mountain Peak: 94 fps (min 21, max 172)
Syria: 58 fps (min 14, max 96)
Geothermal Valley: 62 fps (min 8, max 95)

Very high + FXAA: Overall 129 fps
Mountain Peak: 184 fps (min 44, max 265)
Syria: 105 fps (min 20, max 160)
Geothermal Valley: 94 fps (min 35, max 171)

Looks very promising, here's hoping for good control schemes.
Happily reminded me of The Dweller.

I was going to enjoy my new RX580 that arrived today and watch with anticipation if/when Vega matured for Linux use, perhaps even hope for it to become a viable upgrade... but the RX580 was frikkin DEAD on arrival.
Like mentioned above, they are stupid hard to get a hold of.
So my day was good... ish... /cry :(

Maybe a Vega then, if prices aren't stupid and you can actually get one. :S:
