Title: Vulkan Post by: fromhell on February 17, 2016, 07:49:02 PM Yesterday the Vulkan specs have finally been publicly released meaning anyone can develop for that new API. It's the new low-level OpenGL for the new hardware, etc. Unfortunately Apple doesn't support it :/
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OA?!??: Nothing. OA's graphics are way too high level GL 1.1 stuff to go to Vulkan immediately or even GL2/3/4 immediately without visual comprimise.
