Great, we may finally see good(as in performant) OpenCL support from Nvidia.

OpenCL performance isn't the problem on NVidia, it's the lack of suppport for OpenCL 2.x.

I would say that both parts are pretty bad.

NVidia has no interest in competing with its own propietary compute language, CUDA.

Building OpenCL into Vulkan to try and force NVidia's hand probably isn't going to work out well.
