The latest v2.3.3663 update for Futuremark's 3DMark benchmarking utility includes several improvements, bug and compatibility fixes but, more importantly, adds Vulkan support to the API Overhead feature test.
According to Futuremark, the API Overhead feature test, which now supports Vulkan API, compares Vulkan, DirectX 12 and DirectX 11 API performance. In order to work, the Vulkan test needs compatible drivers with Vulkan support and it replaces the previously available Mantle API test.
