Gnomes per second with Vulkan.

Gnomes per second with Vulkan and OpenGL ES.

Unity5 will likely support Vulkan, especially on Linux but also on Windows, and the performance gains from that look impressive if this is any indication.

If only they'd uses Kerbals...

What the?

It gets better, here's another look at the performance of Vulkan compared to OpenGL, this time on a standard Intel HD gpu.

I like this. Kerbals doesn't exactly tax gaming hardware by any means, but this should still make for a nice little bump in performance when added to the U5 Physx upgrades.

i dont think it would help ksp much, ksp's bottlenecks are mostly on the physics side.

Nice. I wonder if Cities: Skylines supports Vulkan? That's a game where similar to the gnome demo you can zoom out and suddenly be seeing lots of things at once, and I have noticed fps drops when panning or rotating the camera.

Epiiiic. And it looks like Vulkan is making use of all 4 cores in the bigger/faster moving scenes, which is nice.

If this was able to be directly applied with proportionate gains to KSP, I might actually be able to make interplanetary ships
