Code:

23:18:20 INF: Duration: 184.1 seconds (13878 frames)
23:18:20 INF: Average: 75.4 FPS (80.0 w/o extremes)

The most amazing part of all of this is that performance is nearly identical in 3840×2160 and 1920×1080!

Try enabling VDPAU while using Vulkan.

Code:

ogl_bEnableVDPAU=true
gfxRestart()

I’m curious if that’s what gave my initial result such a boost-organ.

P.S. Someone needs to update their article

All I get is some screen corruption and mouse noise as the cursor moves over buttons I can no longer see. At least Alt-F4 still works.

Do I need to put it in a startup file somewhere? Or should typing it on the console be okay?

I just typed it the console.

It could all be for naught since Vulkan is hammering on the GPU. The 980 alone could explain the gain. Will test it again tomorrow.

Like I could go to sleep without re-testing this business.

Same SPECS but I disabled VDPAU, composting, and Steamy overlay.

355.00.27 Vulkan

The real story here is that Vulkan (albeit slower) delivers a smoother experience in the benchmark with less overhead. Not bad for a 1.0 release that is a few days old.

Only one FERP difference /w the OpenGL, fascinating.

[Venn Stone]

Today NVIDIA released a new Vulkan driver (355.00.28) that sorted a few issues.
https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

Quote:

*Add support for 64-bit vertex attribute formats
*Improve performance of vkBindBufferMemory, vkBindImageMemory and vkCreateGraphicsPipelines
*No longer enumerate Fermi based GPUs in vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices
*Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels

Since then, many have claimed Vulkan now outperforms OpenGL in the The Talos Principle [public beta] Vulkan benchmark.

Welp, time for another benching!

No improvement at all on the 780ti… blerf.

Did you ever go back and set

Code:

ogl_bEnableVDPAU=true
gfxRestart()

to false?

No, I did not, which is why I couldn’t even get the stinker to run in GL mode…
tl;dr – Kepler no likey VDPAU

Still no improvement w/ Vulkan. Blerf. I guess it makes sense they’re focused on Maxwell for now, but…

Did you check that “ogl_bEnableVDPAU=false” because this sounds suspiciously like the problem I was having.

That was the problem, I updated my post with the OpenGL results (Vulkan takes the lead)

[Pedro Mateus]

Also figured out why the 64bit version crashes on the SteamBox. It’s running out of memory.

I’ve already ordered the second stick of RAM, should be here tomorrow.
