NVIDIA fish vulkan vs opengl

[@Jurkox26]

Seems like pople here don't have eyes or are just blind. I, for one, see clearly, that Vulkan, though using far more draw calls, runs better at almost double or triple the fps. Pretty well done.

[@wWvwvV]

What do we see here? Vulcan has more draw calls/s. Is Vulcan slower because the implementation uses more draw calls? Or is it faster because it can deliver draw calls more efficiently? What you can see is that OpenGL threads are faster than Vulcan threads (I didn't know OpenGL has or can be programmed with threads). I would assume because of faster threads OpenGL should have a higher throughput (in this installation) but it's not the case. To solve this (for me) an indicator for frames/s or ms/frame would be helpful. Watching the animation doesn't help. It's stuttering regardless if Vulcan or OpenGL is used. Both should be 250+ frames/s.

fps counter is in the top right.

Vulkan: No, matter what platform you are on you lose! OpenGL: Yeah, and there are benefits to losing.

1. Vulkan is so much better? Why? 2. What are exactly the separate threads doing? Are they doing calculations for separate fishes?

[@Nick-lx4fo]

Vulkan exposes a lower-level api compared to OpenGL. The end result being faster performance with Vulkan but a harder api to program in because of its verbosity

[@muhammadfahrimuharram74]

​@@mrnoodle-px9lkSomeone should correct me if I'm wrong here, but as far as I can tell, blender has it's own way of rendering stuff yes it's called cycles. Rendering engine is different from graphics specification which is opengl/vulkan/directx. those three are just simply ways to talk to the gpu. On the other hand the rendering engine is built on top of those specifications to provide ways to turn blender stuffs into an image. I don't know the details but I presume the only option you have in blender is to simply choose vulkan/opengl as its rendering backend.

[@ipotrick6686]

is this using bildess descriptors on the vulkan side?

[@mSparks43]

src is on the nvidia developer website

[@theevilcottonball]

OpenGL 1.0 is the best graphics API. Prove me wrong.

[@KingJangOng]

seems like a poor implementation

[@mSparks43]

compared to what?

[@KingJangOng]

@@mSparks43 vulkan code will be faster than opengl as long as the person implements it well

[@mSparks43]

@@KingJangOng and there are like 10 times the number of draw calls on vulkan iirc, not to mention double the fps.
