Vulkan on NVIDIA Hardware FAQ:

1) How do I start using Vulkan in my code base?
NVIDIA Vulkan developer page is a great place to start. You can learn from Vulkan presentations and articles as well as NVIDIA demos and SDK samples.

2) Is NVIDIA going to continue to support OpenGL in the future?
NVIDIA is fully committed to invest in OpenGL that our ISVs rely on and will continue to support and improve it. NVIDIA believes in providing maximum functionality with minimal churn to developers. Hence, NVIDIA fully supports both Vulkan and OpenGL.

3) Is NVIDIA Vulkan driver conformant?
Yes, all available drivers have passed the initial version of Vulkan 1.0 conformance.

4) Will there be an official (non-beta) NVIDIA driver with Vulkan support?
Yes. We plan to include Vulkan in both Windows and Linux drivers in an upcoming driver release. These will be available to all users to run Vulkan content as part of our regular driver releases.

5) Does NVIDIA support Vulkan on Linux for Tegra?
Yes. Linux for Tegra drivers are supported.

About Graphics Drivers:

While installing the graphics driver allows the system to properly recognize the chipset and the card manufacturer, updating the video driver can bring about various changes.

It can improve the overall graphics experience and performance in either games or various engineering software applications, include support for newly developed technologies, add compatibility with newer GPU chipsets, or resolve different problems that might have been encountered.

When it comes to applying this release, the installation steps should be a breeze, as each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible so that each user can update the GPU on their own and with minimum risks (however, check to see if this download supports your graphics chipset).

Therefore, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the setup, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation, and make sure you reboot the system so that the changes take effect.

That being said, download the driver, apply it on your system, and enjoy your newly updated graphics card. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
