This is so funny because it’s the opposite recommendation I’ve seen basically everywhere else. All other notes I’ve seen have recommended Vulcan for newer hardware. I’ve been running vulkan as well and have had no issues at all. 6800xt here.

Digital Foundry did their own testing and found that DX11 is better most of the time, but in some CPU-limited situations you can get higher framerates with Vulkan. Performance differed a bit across hardware manufacturers. YMMV

Such a loss. I’m sure Vince will land on his feet. But it’s just hard to watch, a brand evaporate like this.

I have a 5900x and a 2080S with 32G of ram. Vulcan triple buffering didn’t work and it crashed on me in my brief time trying it. DX11 has been fine mostly. No crashes, but after playing for a while I’ll occasionally just have my fps tank and start stuttering and have to quit the game and relaunch and it’ll be fine. Running basically ultra 4k dlss on balanced or performance. Tried both, both give me 60fps.
