Doom patch adds support for Vulkan API

[madboyv1]

For those who don't know, you have to use TSSAA or no AA if you want to enable async support. other AA solutions don't take advantage of this feature (yet).
I've read that people are getting 40-50% FPS increase when using Vulkan+TSSAA with the RX 480. (20-30% when using MSAA)
PS: no async support yet for Nvidia. they are still working on it. (although I think only maxwell might be able to use the async driver nvidia is working on)

I can confirm the AMD gains are insane. At 1440p using the Ultra settings with no AA the R9 380 wen't from 39fps with OpenGL to 63fps with Vulkan!!! Thats 62% more performance, I have been having a hard time believing the results.

Yeeeeeesss push that cost/performance ratio up up up~

Some other 970 users have reported similar problems on the steam: DOOM > General Discussions page. I have the current 368.69 driver but I will take your advice and reinstall the driver, see if that helps. Thanks.

Edit: I did a clean driver install to no effect... still getting just under 60fps @ 1080p. Nvidia definitely needs to work on supporting vulcan much better then it does at the moment. on a side note the card works great for rise of the tomb raider in DX12.
