Phoronix: It's Looking Like More Vulkan Linux Games Could Be Landing Soon

There's no announcement to break today, but besides there being an uptick in RADV performance work, there are some whispers and other indications of new Vulkan Linux titles likely dropping soon...

Rise of Tomb Rider is all but confirmed to be coming. It has DX12 on Windows. The other is F1 2017.

Now this is some high quality speculation - I love it!

Unrelated: Astrokill is an Unreal Engine 4 game and works with -vulkan.

Still doesn't help much against the stuttering all Unreal Engine 4 games suffer from though.

I didn't see any news for this. Do you have a link? Or is it speculation as technically UE4 will provide Vulkan support anyway and we just hope to see a build with Vulkan support?

I tried it.

Right now it very quickly segfaults though.

I've been fooling around with the RPCS3 emulator for PlayStation 3, an astonishing project which features both Vulkan and OpenGL renderers. Vulkan has been working quite for me there, though I hear some games suffer from bugs in Vulkan. Michael, seems like a great place for you to benchmark!
