The video emphasizes the superior performance of Vulkan drivers over OpenGL and GameScope in gaming, particularly on the Steam Deck. The presenter demonstrates that using Vulkan drivers, especially with Proton 704, ensures a stable 60 frames per second, whereas OpenGL and GameScope result in significantly lower frame rates. They guide viewers on enabling Vulkan through Steam Deck settings and highlight its necessity for optimal performance in demanding AAA games. The video also addresses viewer feedback, maintaining that Vulkan provides a smoother gaming experience and encourages users to explore tutorials for installing Proton versions. The presenter concludes by engaging with the audience and encouraging likes, shares, and subscriptions.

In this segment, the video demonstrates the significant performance differences between Vulkan and OpenGL (using GameScope) drivers in gaming. The presenter highlights that with the Vulkan driver active for DirectX 11, the game runs at 60 frames per second and remains very stable. Upon switching to GameScope or OpenGL, the frame rate drops significantly. The presenter uses Proton 704 to access the Vulkan driver, underscoring its importance for better game performance. They show that Vulkan can translate DirectX into Vulkan, ensuring optimal game performance, whereas OpenGL results in about a 30% lower frame rate. This difference is evident when the game drops from 60 frames per second with Vulkan to 50 frames per second with OpenGL, even under the same settings and conditions.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the performance differences between Vulkan drivers and the default game scope or OpenGL. The Vulkan driver maintains a constant 60 frames per second, whereas game scope struggles around 40 frames per second, indicating significant performance improvements with Vulkan. The speaker provides guidance on enabling Vulkan by adjusting settings in the Steam Deck properties, including setting the Beta participation in the operating system for access to Vulkan. They also demonstrate how to select Vulkan for games that do not automatically use it.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the benefits of using Vulkan over OpenGL or Gamescope for rendering, particularly when playing demanding AAA games. By enabling Vulkan, users can achieve a consistent 60 frames per second with high graphics settings, compared to the 40-60 frames per second with Gamescope or 40-45 frames per second with OpenGL. The speaker emphasizes the significant performance improvement and smoother gameplay experience provided by Vulkan. They also address negative comments from viewers, asserting that Vulkan is indeed advantageous and that some critics may lack proper knowledge or experience with the Steam Deck. Lastly, the speaker mentions their intent to ban users who leave baseless negative comments.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains that while they read most of the comments from viewers, they don’t have enough time to respond to all due to their video creation schedule. They express happiness that some viewers are enjoying their Steam Decks and hope those waiting will receive theirs soon. A primary focus is on the importance of using the Vulkan driver in any game, highlighting that it ensures smoother and more stable gameplay at 60 frames per second with GameScope, compared to the less stable performance using OpenGL. The speaker encourages viewers to look up tutorials if they need to install different versions of Proton and concludes by asking for likes, shares, and subscriptions.
