I didn’t even know what Vulkan was until I installed the new Civilization 7. When you launch the game, it lets you pick between DirectX12 and Vulkan. Fun fact: the game ran like crap on my old graphics card, and it wouldn’t even start with DirectX12. But with Vulkan? It actually worked! Hahaha

`llama.cpp` was in need of some impactful Cuda tuning until yesterday: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/16585 and probably still is. 

This has been over the decade(s) the persistent issue with Cuda (complexity, cross-version instability/regressions) and why I'd principally love to get some AMD tech. But what I hear from friends working with Vulkan, it has its own problems.

My biggest issue is that Metal works almost out of the box, but the cost is steep...
