===Vulkan 1.1===
科納斯在[[SIGGRAPH]]2016上宣布Vulkan將支持自動多GPU功能,類似於Direct3D 12所提供的功能<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/3101843/software-games/vulkan-next-will-bring-better-support-for-vr-and-multiple-gpus.html|title=Vulkan Next will bring better support for VR and multiple GPUs|publisher=PC World|access-date=2017-03-17|archive-date=2018-12-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206190153/https://www.pcworld.com/article/3101843/software-games/vulkan-next-will-bring-better-support-for-vr-and-multiple-gpus.html}}</ref> ,顯示驅動程序不再需要處理多個GPU的使用,相反，兩個或更多完全不同的GPU之間可以智能地分配工作負載<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/10067/ashes-of-the-singularity-revisited-beta/4|title=Ashes of the Singularity Revisited: A Beta Look at Direct3D 12 & Asynchronous Shading|first=Daniel Williams, Ryan|last=Smith|publisher=AnandTech|access-date=2017-03-17|archive-date=2022-04-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220422152924/https://www.anandtech.com/show/10067/ashes-of-the-singularity-revisited-beta/4}}</ref>。
