Vulkan 1.0 is released!

[NoXzema]

Khronos released the first publicly available stable revision of the Vulkan specification: https://www.khronos.org/news/press/khronos-releases-vulkan-1-0-specification

LunarG also provided an SDK which comes with various tools for debugging, validation, shader generation/compilation and various other uses: http://lunarg.com/vulkan-sdk/

There's also a C++ wrapper provided by nvidia: https://developer.nvidia.com/open-source-vulkan-c-api

Looking forward to the days to come... ;D

EDIT: Nvidia has day one support although they released two different drivers the same day. The drivers on this page contain a Vulkan ICD: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver
All upcoming drivers should support Vulkan out of the box.

Dolphin Emulator's developers have already implemented DX12 with huge improvements.
Can't wait til Vulkan is ready for a comparison.

I think other companies do too but I CBA. EDIT: Thanks SGH! More info below:

Please note that this initial Windows driver is not packaged with DirectX® driver components, so it is not a suitable replacement for your everyday graphics driver.

NVidia also has beta drivers, but I don't think they have the same issue as AMD's.
Downside is, you need a 6xx/newer card.

Intel has a working Linux driver that
