★What is Vulkan?★
Vulkan is a low-overhead, cross-platform API, open standard for 3D graphics and computing.
Vulkan targets high-performance realtime 3D graphics applications, such as video games and interactive media. Compared to DirectX9, Vulkan is a newer API, intended to offer higher performance and more balanced CPU and GPU usage and provides a considerably lower-level API and parallel tasking for the application.
★Minimum Requirements★
| Brand | GPU | Driver (Recommended) | Release Date |
| AMD | AMD Radeon HD 7730 series or newer | Radeon Driver 20.2 or newer | 2012 |
| Nvidia | Geforce GTX 745 (Desktop), MX130 (Mobile) | Nvidia Driver 415.22 or newer | 2014 |
| Intel | Intel HD Graphics 505 or newer | Intel Driver 19.0 or newer | 2015 |
★How to activate Vulkan?★
1 - Open your Launcher
2 - Open Launcher Configurations
3 - Change Render API from DirectX9 to DXVK (Vulkan)
4 - Click on the Save button
★What should I expect?★
Vulkan API will provide you, more stability in frametime, and will give you a boost in performance.
AMD users will have the biggest performance boost and will address some stuttering issues compared to DirectX9.
