since the release of vulkan api into gaming industry, the issues became debatable as there's various opinion on the pros and cons of each graphic api. so guys, what u guys thought on this and what API u guys using? state your graphic card model too. currently using opengl, 940mx (laptop)  . unable to use vulkan though because of an unknown problem. already check the nvidia website that this model support vulkan. -- btw, I have run a test for the best api use between low gpu and high gpu. feel free to ask me regarding setting and suitable api use.

QUOTE(SyahzMevius @ May 10 2017, 01:30 AM) Direct X 9 for performance. (Increase FPS) Direct X 11 for nice visual. Direct X 12 for windows 10. Vulkan for amd/ati graphic. Open GL same as Direct X 9 performance, but little bit low. I use dx11 in console command, dx12 still not available for dota 2 client tho. never try dx9, even default use dx 10 or 10.5 something if not mistaken. checked it up with vconsole. and for open gl, its not dx 9 performance, its 10.5 for dota2. and yeah, lower fps but better visual.

QUOTE(ccm @ May 11 2017, 10:14 AM) on my laptop i'm using radeon card also, forgot which model, it only can run dota 2 on low setting, but with vulkan, it can run on mid-high setting.. (to run on high setting i must always keep my laptop very clean, and disk defrag must be always performed to keep the performance) change it to ssd then.

QUOTE(xFreedomBoix @ May 12 2017, 01:13 PM) vulkan on my r9 290.. but vulkan on gtx 1070 abit bad  so i just leave it on default yeah, vulkan so bad tho with nvidia graphic. because vulkan was a successor from mantle api which is made for ati card. have u try gl? do triple buffering + smooth v sync on full setting. shuld not be a problem  . unless u using higher hz monitor.
