It is nice to see that 1060/Vulkan can beat 1080 Ti/OGL and shows how important APIs and optimization are, compared to silicon.

Could You please do also a test-run with the performance governor for the CPU? I'm pretty certain that this would give even more impressive numbers, since powersave tends to downclock the CPU under Vulkan, because of the lighter load on each individual CPU core/thread.
PS: Somebody should give Crysis (1) [2007] the Vulkan treatment - just so Intel IvyBridge users can claim: "Yes, it can run Crysis!"

Am I the only one that thinks it's strange that the 'normal' and 'very high' presets have almost exactly equal performance?
I saw this on the radeonsi test as well. I haven't tried the game my self, but is there so little difference between the settings?

We know Vulkan is better than opengl.
But what we - at least I - want to know is when it is better than directx (I supose sometimes is and others not) under WINE and under native MS WOS, and if you want to work a bit more with MS WOS under Xen an KVM GPU pass through VMs.
And that is the battle, because if Vulkan beats directx, and even better Vulkan under GNU/Linux beats also Vulkan under MS WOS, then gamer users will switch to GNU/Linux, and gamer users are a small, but big enough computer market share.Last edited by mitcoes; 31 March 2017, 08:03 AM.
