Heads up Vulkan fans, The Talos Principle beta has been updated to include the Vulkan build for Linux gamers to test out.
They also have a new OpenGL fix in:
Nice to see major games testing open drivers!
See their forum post about it here.
I haven't been able to run any tests yet as the Nvidia Beta driver with Vulkan borked my PC earlier during install, so I'm not brave enough to try that again. It didn't launch on SteamOS either (likely due to the above quoted bit).
It's probably going to be weeks before Nvidia release a stable driver update with Vulkan in it, so I will be holding off on my main PC until they do.
Feel free to share your results in the comments. You can grab the Nvidia Beta driver with Vulkan here (355.00.27), but be warned, it could break your Linux install. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
QuoteOn Linux, it may be necessary to switch to Vulkan via +gfx_strAPI "VLK" command line parameter, as dynamic switching via menus may cause issues. Also, it is recommended to delete Talos.ini file from UserData folder prior to starting the game with Vulkan for the first time on Linux. The path should look something like this:
/home/[user]/Steam/userdata/[userid]/257510/local/Talos.ini

On Windows you get more FPS on Vulkan than OpenGL (10-12 FPS).
That's just strange. Nothing wrong.

That's the point. On Linux we all have ~20 more FPS on OpenGL than Vulkan.
But maybe OpenGL on Windows is garbage.
