- bigyabai 1y agoFor raster, they're pretty good and fabbed on dense nodes. For compute, nothing special.
- pjmlp 1y agoYes, it is the best next generation API, and the only one that fully supports C++ (C++14 with extensions) on the GPU. It is also the only native 3D API designed for managed languages, in Objective-C with Swift bindings. DirectX is the land of COM, C++, write your own bindings, HLSL isn't quite C++, although is getting there. Vulkan is the second coming of extension spaghetti, GLSL is stagnant to the point everyone was using HLSL instead, now there is Slang, still outside C and C++, write your own bindings. LibGNM and LibGMX are basically C and C++ land, and PSGL is an evolution from HLSL. NVN is a mix of OpenGL and Vulkan, and equally C and C++ land. Then there are all the MetalKits, that no OS vendor has similar offerings.
