MODERATORS
Benefits: ease maintenance burden and gain support of Vulkan layers and utilities with OpenGL apps
Downsides: Performance in theory, but probably minimal difference in the case of the hardware Valve is using
Old Graphics Layer. OGL.
Man, makes me feel old too.
I thought valve was using dvxk to translate opengl to vulkan? At least with proton they are
Its DXVK and its for translating DX (DirectX used on windows) into VK (Vulkan) so not for OpenGL nope.
