The video discusses the substantial benefits of using the Vulkan driver over OpenGL and GameScope for gaming performance, particularly on the Steam Deck. The presenter demonstrates that Vulkan consistently maintains higher frame rates, specifically 60 frames per second (fps), compared to the lower and fluctuating fps seen with OpenGL and GameScope. They provide practical advice on ensuring games utilize Vulkan by adjusting settings and opting into beta updates on Steam Deck, which includes Vulkan support. The video also addresses and refutes criticisms from previous viewers, emphasizing the need for accurate information. Additionally, the creator engages with their audience, expressing gratitude and encouraging further interaction, while underscoring the significance of Vulkan for achieving optimal gaming performance.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates the substantial difference between using the Vulkan driver and OpenGL in gaming performance. Initially, with the Vulkan driver active for DirectX 11, the game maintains a stable 60 frames per second (fps). When switching to OpenGL, the performance drops to 50 fps. The presenter emphasizes the significance of Vulkan, particularly in games, and shows that Proton 704, when used, provides access to the Vulkan driver which enhances game performance by translating DirectX into Vulkan. The difference in visual performance and frame rates between Vulkan and OpenGL is highlighted, showing Vulkan’s superiority in maintaining higher fps at high graphics settings.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the performance difference between using the Vulkan driver and the GameScope driver, highlighting a significant drop in frame rates from a constant 60 frames per second with Vulkan to around 40 frames with GameScope. They address criticisms received in previous comments about the Vulkan driver, providing evidence of its superior performance.
The speaker explains how to ensure games use the Vulkan driver on a Steam Deck. They guide viewers through the settings, recommending the selection of beta participation for the operating system to access the latest updates, which include Vulkan support. Additionally, they show how to change the compatibility settings for individual games to ensure they run using Vulkan instead of GameScope or OpenGL for better performance.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the advantages of using Vulkan over other graphics APIs like OpenGL and Gamescope for better gaming performance. They highlight that Vulkan offers a more consistent 60 frames per second (FPS) with high graphics settings, whereas OpenGL provides only 40-45 FPS. The presenter advises viewers to ensure Vulkan is active when starting their games to achieve a smoother experience, especially for graphically demanding AAA games. Additionally, they address negative comments from viewers, asserting that Vulkan is not automatically active in every game and that some commenters may not have accurate information. The presenter mentions the possibility of banning users who post unconstructive or trolling comments.
