if you have anything nvidia that is at least the min requirements for this game, the only difference you will see is the lower fidelity.

frames and everything on min req nvidia setups do not change at all.

at least that's my experience.

ps, if you're an nvidia user, this is why vulkan can sometimes perform worse.

vulkan was made for amd.

That's a bit biased and somewhat misleading.

Vulkan may have started out at AMD, but it's a legitimate attempt to make a standard modern 3D graphics API that can work across a wide range of hardware and operating systems. It's supported by Nvidia and Microsoft, but I imagine only half-heartedly, since they're in the drivers seat, so they don't want more competition.

If you run Windows using an Nvidia GPU you're might very well see a decrease in performance, but, given the ridiculous cash grab that Nvidia's been trying to pull off with the 40 series graphics cards, we need more competition in the GPU market, so I welcome alternatives.
