Unofficial DCS World Vulkan Performance Test – Possible Future?
🟨NOTE: this is NOT endorsed, or official Eagle Dynamics file, solution, or any kind of beta or update to DCS WORLD. I used DXVK to "trick" DCS world 2.9 into using VULKAN to render the game. again, THIS IS NOT representative of final results.🟨
DCS World still relies on DirectX 11, an aging graphics API, while modern games often utilize DirectX 12 for better efficiency. However, Vulkan is a compelling alternative known for improved performance, lower CPU overhead, and better multi-threading. Since DCS World does not yet natively support Vulkan, I conducted an unofficial test using the DXVK plugin, which intercepts DirectX 11 calls and translates them to Vulkan. This experiment provides insight into the potential performance gains Vulkan could offer, though actual improvements should be even greater when DCS World receives full native Vulkan support in the future!
