Neither of those APIs are going to provide a significant performance increase in enough PS2 games to justify the (unpaid volunteer) coders here to set aside significant time & resources to work on it. Not every project has a John Carmack on staff (if only we were so lucky) so we work with what we have.ĭX12 is a lost cause and Win10-only while Vulkan is still at least a year away from being a mature-enough API for regular production use.
I know of Doom being one of the few high-profile games that have Vulkan support and that is because John Carmack is a programming genius and managed to get it done within a reasonable amount of time. Maybe 85% ready but still not quite there yet.
DIRECTX PCSX2 DOWNLOAD UPDATE
It would be utterly insane to bother with DX12 support for less than 20% of the market and have that 'support' change on a near-daily basis with every random forced untested Windows Update for Win10 causing nothing but headaches for both users and developers of programs like PCSX2.Īnd all that said, Vulkan is by far the most promising of the APIs but from personal experience and poking around it is NOT ready for prime time. Win10 is not the answer and DX12 is not the answer. Microsoft fired most of their testing team and the buggy broken garbage 'updates' they've released to break people's systems time and again have unfortunately caused a backlash where NOBODY is updating their computers even for crucial security updates. I've made this comparison elsewhere but Win7 is your rock solid STABLE OS while Win8.1 is a BETA OS and Win10 is your DEV/ALPHA OS that isn't ready for prime time and won't be ready for at least another year or two. The overwhelming majority of users are not on Win10 nor have any inclination of 'updating' to Win10. The primary benefit comes from those who have the HARDWARE to handle things and that hardware isn't going to happen from people who (time and again) complain their Intel Integrated HD-shit graphics have bugs or won't run X game despite bold stickied caps threads on the PCSX2 forums. That said, perhaps you should realize that neither Vulkan nor DX12 are 'magic bullets' when it comes to improving performance. Just be sure you know that gregor圓8 is an actual coder and intimately involved deep in the nuts and bolts of maintaining a PCSX2 codebase that has been around for several years and has over 95% compatibility with PS2 games. Looked through your github contribution history and it seems you're more of a tester/issue commiter than an actual coder.
