That means you have to test it again WYP

Nice to see that, might help with those looong long long ai turns

I'm pretty interested in the explicit multi GPU part tbh

Cities Skylines needs DX12 or Vulkan as it's severely CPU bound, The performance on that game is dire once you get to a biggish sized city.

It's bogged down because nearly everything is scripted. So each person or car is scripted, then you have different types of cars and people, so it's a huge list and when everything is trying to process a script, it slows it down a lot. Vulkan/DX12 won't help all that much. They would just need a better system that's more efficient
Civ VI doesn't really have this problem because I don't think anything is scripted. So they are able to use just a few algorithms and be done. Much more efficient.
