Question about Vulkan and OpenMW

[Kanevc]

Can we use Vulkan API to somehow make OpenMW faster?

[AnyOldName3]

IIRC, the people behind OSG are planning on making a similar library which runs on Vulkan. Once something like that exists, it can be added to OpenMW. Otherwise, someone would have to write everything from scratch, and there's so much going on in OpenMW that that isn't a simple task.

Moreover, afair Vulkan is mainly about performance in graphics rendering and I'm not quite sure whether especially that is a main issue with openMW - and coding it is said to be heavily time consuming. So the limited development resources might better be used in terms of feature add ons or so.

However, support of multi-core CPUs might be a different matter.

OSG issue, not purely OpenMW related.
