Tested on keineahnung with glxgears.

Description of Vulkan API [1]:

> Vulkan is a low-overhead, cross-platform 3D graphics and compute API.
> Vulkan targets high-performance realtime 3D graphics applications such
> as video games and interactive media across all platforms. Compared
> with OpenGL and Direct3D 11 and like Direct3D 12 and Mantle, Vulkan is
> intended to offer higher performance and more balanced CPU/GPU usage.
> Other major differences from Direct3D 11 (and prior) and OpenGL are
> Vulkan being a considerably lower level API and offering parallel
> tasking. Vulkan also has the ability to render 2D graphics
> applications, however it is generally suited for 3D. In addition to
> its lower CPU usage, Vulkan is also able to better distribute work
> amongst multiple CPU cores.
