Very interesting, in our forums Krzyslaw spotted that over at laptopvideo2go there is a 358.66 driver link that shows support for Vulkan, Pascal and Volta ? Three pretty big denominators eh ?

We'll focus on Vulkan in this news item primarily as that indicates that Nvidia is adding the upcoming low-level 3D graphics API from Khronos. Vulkan is the followup for OpenGL and as many of you know, the core foundation for Vulkan, is AMD's Mantle.

It is good to see that Nvidia is willing the jump onto this bandwagon, as only when things get broadly and openly supported, they can be a success. AMD did retire Mantle due to DirectX 12 and the lack of software vendor support. They pretty much handed to code to Khronos for them to develop. The 358 series drivers also show CUDA code inclusions as well as support for upcoming NVIDIA GPU architectures, Pascal and Volta.

More here in our forums where you can find a download link as well. Nvidia surely is a busy bee alright.
