At a recent game developers conference, Kronos confirmed the following information: This means that players who own high-end multi-GPU systems will now have no choice but to install Windows 10 in order to enjoy the Vulkan’s multi-GPU support. If you still prefer to use a Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer with Vulkan, you’ll need to rely on a single graphics card. However, this limitation won’t affect too many gamers. Actually, the number of people running multi-GPUs is quite small: Linux gamers can consider themselves lucky as Vulkan won’t be restricted in the same way on their machines. The fact that only Windows 10 will support Vulkan multiple GPUs may force some gamers to upgrade to Windows 10. Intel recently added support for the Vulkan API for its most recent chipsets, Skylake and Kaby Lake. According to Intel, Vulkan is also the way to go if you’re preparing for a future of 4K and VR.
