I see many folks with older graphics cards like the 970 and 1080 cards. Will those by chance see an FPS boost after Gen 12 and Vulkan?
Jonas · Engine Programmer

Yeah, we'll try to answer that. So the goal of Gen 12 in the first place is to improve CPU performance. So in case you run an older CPU with your old GPU, you might see an improvement, because we can better utilize all the cores of your CPU. But the more likely case is that you're bottlenecked by the GPU, and then Gen 12 won't really bring a benefit there. Vulkan might bring a benefit there, but you never know. We have to measure that. It might bring benefits in one case but be a drawback in another case. That's hard to tell. But especially when you're rendering in high resolution, when you're trying to do 4K, the older graphics cards will most likely be a bottleneck anyway, and then both won't help there.
