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 but it does not support OpenUSD. It is also less buggy on Linux Wayland, at least with NVidia drivers.
  • OpenGL's only benefit at this point is that it supports OpenUSD.
