Star Citizen: Confirmed to soley use Vulkan API

Per Ali Brown, Director of Graphics Engineering:

Years ago we stated our intention to support DX12, but since the introduction of Vulkan which has the same feature set and performance advantages this seemed a much more logical rendering API to use as it doesn’t force our users to upgrade to Windows 10 and opens the door for a single graphics API that could be used on all Windows 7, 8, 10 & Linux. As a result our current intention is to only support Vulkan and eventually drop support for DX11 as this shouldn’t effect any of our backers. DX12 would only be considered if we found it gave us a specific and substantial advantage over Vulkan. The API’s really aren’t that different though, 95% of the work for these APIs is to change the paradigm of the rendering pipeline, which is the same for both APIs.

A few notes:

If you want to see if your GPU supports Vulkan, check the compatibility table on Wikipedia

If you happen to use a SLI/Crossfire setup with Windows, you’ll still require Windows 10.
