Amd and Nvidia drivers for what? Big games aren't being made with openGL.

What is the state of vulcan across drivers and engines?

Quite good actually. Intel has older generations supported than on windows. There are 2 mature AMD vulkan implementations.

Also through investments of valve there is a new shader compiler in the works that got merged in mesa which helps quite a lot. The performance is about equal, but sometimes faster under windows (I didn't look at benchmarks of 2020). Oh and vulkan 1.2 is implemented in mesa 20.

Oh and it's vulkan not vulcan
