I wouldn't be surprised if they just don't want their old cards to run any faster if Vulcan reaches that point.

Ding ding ding!

Oh but how could we possibly scrutinize the existing closed platform for the truth in their claim? It's probably easier to just trust Father nVidia, let's just go with that instead. :)

This is the second reason why drivers should be open source, the first being security of course.

Doesn't matter, someone like Tweakforce might be able to spin a homebrew version of the drivers with Vulkan support.

Not that I'm standing up for NVidia, but if it were AMD, they wouldn't even support the previous generation of cards. (AMD driver support lifetime is a joke)

NVidia provides fast and functional drivers for Linux that continue to work for years, while AMD abandons cards quickly and Intel graphics performance on Linux trails Windows by a mile.
