Eh?

Vulkan can run on Win 7/8, DX12 can't (won't).

If you mean crossfire/SLI, then, maybe.

Took the opt in for a spin. Vulkan is working so far, looks like I'm getting a performance increase but still unable to select mGPU, also running the benchmark only shows one of my 2 GPUs active. Perhaps Stardock can give an official comment on a time frame (weeks/months) as to when we can expect Vulkan to use mGPUs?

I love a lot of the changes, but I still do not see any option, which has been nagging at me since Beta, is there is no option to make the "Connecting Ley Lines" for zone of control more visible.  In the game itself.  Example, look at the screen shots provided.  So, currently the only real way is to look at the mini map.  The ley lines, tell me 2 things: 1- which direction are the strategic areas for control, and 2: Tells me what areas are NOT passible for ground units.  So I can send the army down this path.  Some maps, this is very obvious, cliffs or what not, but there are a bunch of other maps that shows a slight hill, but is not passible.  Very frustrating at times.  So I spend time, squinting at the map looking for the faint grey chevron marks.

Sooo easily fixable by just having a menu option to make them more visible.  Glowing green in color or something cool??  Since connecting zone control is the basis of the game.

Sorry if double posted.  Initial reply is not showing up...

Some quick numbers in case you're interested in the benchmark results (GPU bound) run on the following system and settings:

2 AMD Nanos (only 1 used in both Vulkan and DX11 benchmarks).

Overclocked 6 core intel 3930k

16GB RAM

Windows 8.1 64bit

Resolution: 4096x2160

Fullscreen: False (borderless window)

Bloom Quality: High

PointLight Quality: High

Glare Quality: Mid

Shading Samples: 8 million

Terrain Shading Samples: 8 million

Results for Vulkan:

== Total Avg Results ================================================= 

Total Time: 60.002914 ms per frame

Avg Framerate: 47.204403 FPS (21.184465 ms)

Weighted Framerate: 46.786819 FPS (21.373541 ms)

CPU frame rate (estimated if not GPU bound): 97.202492 FPS (10.287802 ms)

Looking forward to see how performance increases once mGPU is enabled in Vulkan and also as the implementation of the API itself is refined. 

Have you tried the lowest video settings on vulkan? If not, try that to see if it works and gradually work your way up from there. 

Please contact support so we can get more information.

Out of interest what GPU are you using? Hopefully Stardock have been able to help you out and you're able to play the game now.

Can we get an update on this please?
