Trying out the new Vulkan graphics API on PowerVR GPUs

• freehunter 12y ago
  So would this help older games with updated drivers, or only for newer games that use this new version? I have a Windows tablet with a dual-core Atom and a PowerVR GPU and it performs worse in 3D graphics than my pre-iPad netbook with a single core Atom and Intel GMA.

    This is an entirely new API, so it would only help games that are written to use it.

    Companies would create a separate Vulkan driver that would live alongside the OpenGL ES driver; the article mentions some of the advantages in terms of performance and stability.

  The CPU usage drop is impressive, and great news for embedded devices.
