OpenGL FASTER!? GT 730M Vulkan vs OpenGL Benchmark on Linux
15+++ OPenGL vs Vulkan Benchmark on GT 730M +++
#LinuxGaming #Benchmark #OpenGL #Vulkan
=== About ===
This video was inspired by several rumors about bad Vulkan performance in NVidias GT 700 Series GPUs to validate this statement.
Since this system is a major part of the Low-End Linux gaming series and Vulkan is an important part for Linux Gaming this is something important for this series to consider in future videos.
tl;dr: Yes Vulkan is noticeably slower on this GPUs compared to OpenGL.
DirectX 11 was not tested because it would have had happen using DXVK which is an DirectX to Vulkan translator and proofing DirectX performance vs Vulkan via an Vulkan wrapper is nonsense this was obviously not done.
Furthermore native games are chosen by purpose to eliminate performance hits by Wine or Proton.
Also a reference Benchmark on a GTX 1080 was made to validate if there might be software bugs in the chosen games, but since Vulkan always performance better on the GTX 1080 we can be sure it's a Hardware issue.
Final results are taken from an offscreen (without recording) benchmark run
