It's Vulkan that was reinventing the DX12 wheel wasn't it though?

    In this case Vulkan is the only option. DX12 is a non starter since it was never intended to be universally available.

    DX12 is proprietary. Vulkan is not.

    Vulkan is based on Mantle, which predates the release of DX12 by about 2 years.
