Vulkan Or Direct 3d For Ppsspp
PPSSPP 1.5 - Vulkan is here! 1.5 has support for Vulkan, the new faster way to draw graphics. Supported on many modern Android devices, and if enabled (change Backend in Graphics settings) you will see a massive speed boost. PPSSPP 1.5 also has the usual assortment of fixes.

NVidia and AMD had a bit of a back-and-forth with day-one Vulkan announcements, with nVidia taking a few shots at AMD's beta driver launch. “OpenGL Next” became Vulkan, which consumed parts of AMD's Mantle API in its move toward accommodating developers with lower-level access to hardware. The phrase “closer to the metal” applies to Mantle, Vulkan, and DirectX 12 in similar capacities; these APIs bypass overhead created by DirectX 11 and more directly tune for GPU hardware, off-loading parallelized tasks from the CPU and to the GPU. In a previous interview with Star Citizen's Chris Roberts, we talked about some of the developer side of Vulkan & DirectX 12 programming, learning that it's not as easy as just 'throwing an API call' switch.
For this benchmark, we ran Vulkan vs. DirectX 11 (D3D11) benchmarks in the Talos Principle to determine which API is presently 'best.' There's a giant disclaimer here, though, and we've dedicated an entire section of the article to that (see: “Read This First!”). Testing used an R9 390X, GTX 980 Ti, and i7-5930K; we hope to add low-end CPUs to determine the true advantage of low-level APIs, but are waiting until the driver set and software further iterate on Vulkan integration.

| vulkan vs DirectX is vulkan better than DirectX? |

| RE: vulkan vs DirectX Vulkan is to OpenGL what D3d12 is to D3d11. It's much better on Android devices with Vulkan. |

| RE: vulkan vs DirectX Most code is shared between different backends, so differences will not be huge, but it's always good to have an option, in case there are games which might look better in different backends or simply suffering from driver issues that will not be present in other backends. http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=6594 - Custom PPSSPP Shaders!Vulkan will be fastest on devices limited by cpu or slow drivers, but will not be the lightest nor most stable since d3d11 beats it for that at least currently. In the future it will be the first or even only backend to get new cool things, however currently they all are close to what they can do so hype around it is generated by mobiles that otherwise only had a choice of gles and they had a really awful(both slow and buggy) drivers for it;p. Personally my choice on desktop is still between OGL and D3d11, I really like Vulkan, but if I would only care to play games without issues that's just how it is and soon until Vulkan matures I will likely limit my choice to d3d11 since OGL will undergo heavy changes very likely introducing new problems. I don't agree much on comparing OGL->Vulkan with D3d11->D3d12 since we don't care about d3d12 at all and almost no commercial games don't either just like they didn't about OGL. On desktops d3d11 drivers will be due to native pc games using it be very mature, usually problem-free and very optimized often winning despite low level api's like vulkan promising more for the future. http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=3590&pid=117172#pid117172 - simple CE scripts to help creating CWCheats, https://github.com/LunaMoo/PPSSPP_workarounds - CWCheat workarounds. |

| RE: vulkan vs DirectX D3d12 needs people (gamers) to actually want to be on Windows 10 since Windows 7 still has over half the Windows market. Until that changes developers will mainly use d3d11 (since it is universal to the last 3 Windows OS) and OpenGL or Vulkan depending on the game, because why shoot off one of your own legs right before a race. With limited developers making d3d12 games there will be less bug fixes and optimizations because there is less data. So there will be less compelling reasons to need to use d3d12 and less reasons to switch to Win10. Basically it is Vista and d3d10 all over again. Vulkan supports basically everything it can (non proprietary to an OS for the win) and due to that it evolves at a faster pace and can have an immediate higher adoption rate then any DirectX could. Though it is still very early compared to d3d11, so it will take a while to get to the same maturity and stability (assuming they don't screw up royally and kill it along the way). |
