'''Vulkan''': Generally runs great on NVIDIA and AMD graphics chips, including mobile RDNA2 devices. Not recommended for Intel devices, and Adreno (Snapdragon) graphics vary per the driver as to how well they will support Vulkan. | * '''Vulkan''': Generally runs great on NVIDIA and AMD graphics chips, including mobile RDNA2 devices.
