Vulkan API 1.0 is released! Derived from our Mantle API, and with Multi-thread support combined with AMD’s GCN architecture, developers gain direct access to distribution of GPU work to separate command queues. This means that you can have one queue working on physics calculations, and other one working on rasterization. Keeping the GPU busy at all times is crucial for achieving the best rendering performance possible. Learn more: | AMD

Today marks the release of the anticipated open-standard Vulkan 1.0 API! Taking the very best functions from our Mantle API, Vulkan brings low-overhead and low-level access to PC GPU resources. Only Radeon™ GPUs built on the GCN Architecture currently have access to a powerful capability known as asynchronous compute, which allows the graphics card to process 3D geometry and compute workloads in parallel.
