Nvidia quadro k1100m driver directx4/15/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Vulkan, a new graphics application programming interface, launched today. One such title is The Talos Principle which utilizes the Vulkan API and showcases the performance enhancement added through it. NVIDIA had previously announced full support for the Vulkan API and today they have launched their latest drivers for Windows and Linux OS which adds support for the API on Kepler and Maxwell based GeForce cards so that users can have support for latest and upcoming titles that utilize the new API from the start. “We are making Vulkan drivers available for Windows, Linux, and Android platforms, on the same day as the specification launch, and we’ll continue our work within Khronos to ensure Vulkan evolves to meet industry needs.” ![]() ![]() “The Vulkan API enables developers to get the best from NVIDIA GPUs, and we are proud of our role in its development,” says Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of content and technology, NVIDIA. Another leverage over previous APIs is that Vulkan adopts the first open standard cross-API intermediate language for parallel compute and graphics known as SPIR-V, allowing developers to write programs for Vulkan in their own choice of programming language. Also unlike Mantle, Vulkan will be able to run multiple GPUs from various vendors allowing a more wider support than any previous API. Vulkan on the other hand can work on multiple OS which range from Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10), Linux, SteamOS, Android. While DirectX 12 is limited to Microsoft's Windows OS, Vulkan API has the edge of having cross platform and cross vendor support. The API is going to be the direct competitor to Microsoft’s DirectX 12 API which is also going to see wide-scale usage in 2016. The Vulkan API pushes for reduced API overhead and optimized multi-core and multi-threaded performance on current and upcoming hardware. The Vulkan API is the successor to the OpenGL API and a rival to the Metal API from Apple and DirectX 12 API from Microsoft. 2 of 9 NVIDIA's Special Vulkan Drivers For GeForce Graphics Cards Offers Full Support For Next Generation API ![]()
