They haven't enabled multithreading in Vulkan yet... its not really full Vulkan, yet. Once its fully implemented you're likely tho not guaranteed to see a performance jump.

It depends on hardware, if you have Hardware that is way over powerd for the job Vulkan is unlikely to help but with Star Citizen there is a high chance it will even if you run a good CPU and GPU because Star Citizen doesn't care much for powerful hardware, it doesn't read such memos... it chews it up regardless.

New patch just dropped

Star Citizen Alpha 3.23.0 EPTU.9144288 Patch Notes​

​

Pinned​

Yesterday at 19:14

Star Citizen Alpha Patch 3.23.0​

Alpha Patch 3.23.0 has been released to EPTU, and is now available to test! Patch should now show: VERSION 3.23.0-EPTU.9144288.

It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Public client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\EPTU.

Characters in this new environment will be built from LTP data so items such as medpens, ammo, rentals, and refinery jobs will be lost.
Audience: Wave 1
Server Info: US/EU - EPTU Channel - PU/AC
Replication Layer: Disabled (For Tonight's build for logging and performance testing)
Server Crash Recovery: Disabled (For Tonight's build for logging and performance testing)
Starting aUEC: 15,000,000

Note: This patch does not contain all of the intended features, which will be added iteratively to the notes as they become available. Additionally, some features may be implemented in a partial state and as such are not ready for testing. When those features reach a playable state they will be detailed on the notes and added to the "Testing Focus". Please issue council all issues related to those in testing focus and in general gameplay.

Testing/Feedback Focus
  • Stability/Performance/Bug Fixing
  • Master & Operator Modes: Vehicle Combat and Experience
  • Vulkan Renderer (Off by Default in Graphics Settings)
  • Full Character Customizer Revamp
  • mobiGlas Rework / Starmap / Interior Map / Minimap
  • Distribution Centers
  • EVA T2
  • New Loot Screen / New Visor / Lens
  • Full FPS Combat Refactor / Dynamic Crosshair

Known Issues
For 3.23, Server Crash Recovery will remove all current missions and mark them as abandoned. This will not reduce reputation when this occurs. This could cause a few trespassing issues in locations like UGFs.
Distribution Center missions sometimes show the wrong location markers inside so might be difficult to know exactly where you need to go to.
Server and Client Performance is something we are constantly monitoring and working on fixes and changes for 3.23. Currently we are seeing quite a few issues that are reducing the experience and looking into these.
