Using Vulkan when developing the game enabled utilization AMD’s VEGA graphics chips in ways that were not possible before, offering fine-grained control over the performance and feature set of the GPU without having to sacrifice artistic intent. Combined with the flexibility of AMD’s hardware, Vulkan gives the artistic freedom to deliver Wolfenstein without compromise.
