I've not been able to test Intel's Alchemist graphics cards, however, it seems likely that Vulkan will provide the best results. I would use this feature only if you're struggling to hit a steady 60fps.įor Intel graphics cards, Vulkan is likely the better choice. Unfortunately, this is an older version of the technology than we'd like, and the visual quality takes a significant dip with it enabled, even when set to Ultra Quality mode. If you're in need of extra performance, FSR 1.0 is your only option with an AMD graphics card. In that case, DX11 is a suitable alternative and performs well. I've not run into these issues in my testing, and they may no longer be present in the launch version of the game, but it's something to bear in mind if you do find visual errors occurring while you play. That said, an older thread on Reddit for the early access version of the game does suggest that there are more issues with the Vulkan API than DX11. However, 0.1% lows did sometimes dip below what I saw with DX11. The Vulkan API generally offered higher average frame rates and higher 1% low frame rates in my testing.

For AMD graphics cards, Vulkan is generally the better choice.
