Vulkan acts as an interface that converts game engine commands into instructions the computer can process. It improves performance by more efficiently utilizing your PC's resources. Performance gains typically come from better CPU and thread utilization, not just the graphics card. More cores/threads can help, but Vulkan optimizes how those resources are used overall.
It's a graphics API similar to OpenGL and DirectX. It acts as a communication channel for graphical apps, such as games, to interact with GPU drivers and manage tasks. Vulkan and DX12 represent the latest generation, giving developers finer control over GPU resources.
Vulkan optimizes performance through several methods. The biggest changes include reducing draw calls and enabling asynchronous compute, though the latter is still limited. Additional background upgrades further enhance efficiency, addressing bottlenecks and improving overall speed.
