Just wanted to share my experience with DX11 vs vulkan on cs2
Notes:
* when I first ran vulkan the game ran like trash, but after restarting the game and playing some casual games, the performance became more consistent
* I dont have any crashes with DX11 or vulkan, just different performance.
* mouse and keyboard inputs feel similar in both APIs (I use Nvidia reflex+ boost)
* All Nvidia and Intel Drivers are up-to-date as of Sept 2024
Specs of my computer:
* i5 12500h
* 32gb RAM 3200m/ts (dual rank)
* RTX 3050 ti 4gb (stock)
* intel 660p 1tb NVME gen 3 ssd
Vulkan:
Avg: 210.4, 1% low: 103.6
DX11:
Avg: 179.3, 1% low: 71.0
Game Settings:
* 1920×1080 @144hz
* all settings disabled or on their lowest possible setting
