Upcoming and released Vulkan games?

[slick rick]

Hi guys,

So Vulkan was a very nice experience for me in Doom, But everything seems to be more about DX12, in Tomb Raider though I did not have any benefit from it.

This has made me wonder what other released and future titles support this API?

Please post if you know of any games that do or will support Vulkan.

You're not going to automagically have things look better because they're using DX12 or Vulkan, the principles of modern GPU shader processing haven't changed.

It's just a lower level API that enables (sufficiently skilled) developers to really wring every last ounce of performance out of the hardware through optimising for their game's demands.

Vulkan is more for mobile space then desktop. That's not to say there wont be more desktop usage but mobile space benefits more from Vulkan. I expect to see a lot more mobile games with Vulkan over PC games.

Not look better but 'feel' better, in Doom with Vulkan it was a lot smoother on my rather dated machine and I found it quite impressive.

That is not a bad thing, I believe my phone supports Vulkan but I don't think there are any games released yet that use it?

Not at all. Vulkan is for desktop first, but supports mobile.
It's actually pretty much the same API as DX12, they both have the same code base which is AMD's mantle.
The only real difference between them both, is DX is closed and Vulkan is open source. Bad move by Microsoft to be honest.
