Note : Article updated to be clearer that this is about the engine, not specifically their new benchmark tool.



It seems UNIGINE have Vulkan firmly in their sights to support it this year, which means their recently released Superposition benchmark could gain support for it too.



Direct from their official Twitter account:

Vulkan support is in the roadmap for the engine this year. — Unigine Corp. (@Unigine) April 13, 2017



While that doesn't specifically state the benchmark itself will gain Vulkan support, it does mean the UNIGINE engine will. It would be odd if they didn't update their big new benchmarking toy to have Vulkan support too.



I tested out their new benchmarking tool and it's a very heavy benchmark, after trying it my system absolutely crawled. It will be very interesting to see how OpenGL stacks up against Vulkan if they do implement it.



This will likely be a benchmark we can keep coming back to when testing new cards, especially considering you can get a free version direct from the website.



Also, there seems to be a scoreboard going on in the forum, go try it out for a bit of fun.

Thanks for sending it to us Peter.
