Let the fun begin. 
Vulkan is Next-Gen OpenGL
This should be fun. The quick reference makes it look so easy too. (Looks like for D3D12 users they'll have no trouble jumping over).
None of my computers has a new enough graphics card for Vulkan drivers. Very disappointing.
OK, so I've tried to download the LunarG Vulkan SDK... 404... I swear to Dave that if I have to sign in to get it I'll murder someone...
... and the docs are behind a bloody sign in wall as well...
ffs... I'm sick of having to bloody 'sign in' for every fucking thing... Christ on a bike...

First AMD GCN Gen1,2,3 beta drivers: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Vulkan-Beta.aspx
Looks like XP is (reasonably) not supported.
On a less ranting note; this page could be interesting http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/listreports.php
Only 3 results so far but of note; NV 980 only exposes one queue type... although depending on the meaning of 'count' you might have 16 of them...
(I'd know, if the docs weren't behind a sign-in wall...)

A site like that would be really helpful for D3D12 programming too...
OK, so things I've tried...
- Download SDK for Windows : 404. (maybe sign in works?)
- Look at docs : Behind sign in wall
- Download drivers : Nothing exploded so AMD get a win there...
- Tried caps viewer from above site : missing a Qt module...
For something which wasn't released sooner because they didn't want to 'rush' it the whole thing just feels like a half arsed release frankly... disappointment upon disappointment and that's before the evitiable driver bugs hit...
gg Khronos and all involved...
