Vulcan Runtime Libraries - libraries that appeared in the remaining versions of official drivers for NVIDIA video cards. How and spitting out the name, you need the stink in order to add to Windows the support of the universal graphics API - Vulkan. Also, the libraries are expanding and also including software for the GPU, but they cannot work without installing the rest.

recognition

VRL ensures that graphical commands are correctly displayed in common programs. Libraries are also necessary for retailers who plan to implement Vulkan technology in their projects. Speaking of which, the versatility of the interface allows you to win some games for creating games for Windows, as well as mobile add-ons for iOS and Android operating systems, in which there are trivi- mer graphics.

About Vulkan API

Danish interface came to replace the old OpenGL. I play in some modern games - Doom (2016), The Talos Principle, Get Even and so on. Looking back at the fact that "Volcano" gives you the ability to achieve maximum productivity on the CPU and GPU, we can assume that in the farther API it will be more advanced. As a minimum, it is necessary to confirm the fact that popular engines are step by step "acquired" with the help of the interface. For example - Source 2 and id Tech.

Krim podvischenoї produktivnostі, yak especially vydchuvaєtsya on the old "growth", the interface also ensures more high level of detail.

installation

The installation of VulkanRT runs automatically. The installer independently checks the availability of other versions of libraries installed on the computer and, if such versions are available, they will be removed in advance. Also, the VulkanRT package can be uninstalled using standard Windows system tools.

Key Features

  • ensure correct visualization of Vulkan API graphical commands;
  • libraries are included in the set of fresh versions of drivers for NVIDIA video cards;
  • a sum of current GPU models and Windows versions;
  • are installed in automatic mode;
  • available absolutely free of charge.

nVidia has announced a new update for the new Vulkan 1.0 API, which is the only official publication of the Khronos Group today.

The next generation of APIs will introduce a shorter programming interface that allows for greater access to PC, Smartphones, consoles.

The Vulkan API is a successor to OpenGL and a competitor to the Metal API like Apple and the DirectX 12 API like Microsoft. This API will become a direct competitor of the Microsoft DirectX 12 API, which has already been known about in other projects.

Vulkan can be run on decal OS, as it is available on Windows (XP / Vista / 7/8 / 8.1 / 10), Linux, SteamOS, Android. You can also work on different graphics processors like Mantle, Vulkan on different graphics processors.

Other drivers for nVidia and AMD video cards are already available.

Vulcan Runtime Libraries are libraries created for NVIDIA cards (mayutsya on leaving the remaining modifications). The name itself speaks about their recognition. That's why they need vinyl through the addition of the API-Vulkan support in Windows. Extended libraries for software types (for GPU). However, their functionality without software security is disabled.

recognition

VRL clicks ensure that graphic commands are sent correctly in the system programs. There is a need in libraries for retailers, as they plan to implement the Vulcan technology. Otherwise, the universal interface can be installed both for games on Windows OS, and for add-ons on Android, iOS, as it transfers a variety of trivial graphics.

More detailed information about Vulkan API

This interface has become, so to speak, the offender of OpenGL. The wealthy have gained massive popularity in games, wins are promoted. Виходячи з того, що за допомогою Vulkan можна домогтися гарної продуктивності, напрошується висновок про перспективність впровадження API у багато проектів, пов'язані з ігровою індустрією, про що красномовно свідчить те, що підтримкою даного інтерфейсу прагнуть обзавестися найпопулярніші на сьогоднішній день движки (id Tech , Source 2).

Crimium of increased productivity, especially on computers, released a sprat of fate, the interface provides high detail.

installation

Install Vulcan RT in automatic mode. The installer's independent re-verification of the presence in the memory of other libraries was transferred. If so, then the process of their removal is started. Also, for the help of Vulcan RT, you can initiate uninstallation using standard methods, transferred by the protocol of the operating system.

About head features
