OBS support for Vulkan or Direct3D12 as a render engine?

[Ichigo]

Will OBS studio soon support Vulkan or Direct3D12 as a rendering engine?

 

[Osiris]

Why would that be necessary?

 

[Ichigo]

Direct3D11 while used by most games not using the latest APIs is that great as Direct3D12 or Vulkan/

OBS uses DX11 and OpenGL for desktop composition, and doesn't use them to render anything in the sense that you are thinking of.

as such, going to DX12 and/or vulkan isn't going to do anything useful.

Thanks for clearing that up, I thought that's what OBS uses to render frames.
