Differences between Vulkan and OpenGL
- Vulkan is a new open source API, compared to OpenGL that it might get deprecated on some platforms like macOS. It supports true HDR (High Dynamic Range), it is about 20% to 50% faster than the OpenGL version (on Windows, macOS M1+ and it is the same speed for GNOME 48 and later) but it does not support OpenUSD.
- OpenGL's main benefit at this point is that it supports OpenUSD and works better on old CPUs (macOS Intel and older Wayland compositors).
