That is Vulkan. There is no mobile&embedded vs desktop fracture like there is with GLES vs GL. In the design of the Vulkan standard that was one mistake they were trying to address. I personally would aim for Vulkan. > Is it true that most PCIe graphics cards (and drivers) will also > support GLES as well as GL? I've seen that asserted. As a litmus test, I don't see any GLES drivers on nVideas website. Both Vulkan and GL are there tho. > Cheers, > -- > Steve McIntyre steve.mcint...@linaro.org > <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs > -- Regards, Tom Director, Linaro Consumer Group, Multimedia Working Group Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs irc: tgall_foo | skype : tom_gall "Where's the kaboom!?
