There's no real chance we're gonna see Vulkan become the industry standard anytime soon, because if it would NVIDIA won't be selling any 1070s/1080s anymore.
This shit saddens me greatly. We're just going to keep getting unoptimized trash to make us buy overexpensive cards.
Is there any hope?
some of the engines with vulkan support:
source
unreal
id tech
unity
cryengine
that's a majority in terms of market share already because internal proprietary engines have less of it than unity alone
