No, it should be on par, but faster. They have to rewrite a lot of glue code and probably restructure their shaders somewhat, so it’s a bit of a bumpy road right now (it’s experimental, after all), but the end result will be better performance on most systems. And, as I hear, a lot more maintainable code, so there will probably be further benefits down the line. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/api-discussion-vulkan-opengl-directx-gnm-gnmx-etc/6382)._
