OCCT v14.2 update is here and it's an important one! 🥳
With v14.2, we're making a major change: we’re dropping DirectX and switching to Vulkan by default.
Why?
🔴On Linux, OpenCL support is optional, and finding which OpenCL adapter corresponds to which in DirectX is particularly challenging, making it hard to tell which adapter from one API matches the one reported by another.
🔴On Windows, maintaining a separate DirectX rendering path added unnecessary complexity.
And Vulkan gives us:
✅A unified GPU detection algorithm across platforms
✅A simpler, more robust codebase
✅Slightly better performance and even more accurate results.
