id Software shows Doom running on GTX 1080 using Vulkan

I saw a video similar to this shortly after the GTX 1080 launch and was amazed to see amost 200FPS in a modern triple A title.  During that presentation they mentioned "Vulkan" which is a new OpenGL driver that works similar to DirectX 12. 

By using Vulkan you can get the same visual presentation on older versions of Windows and maybe even Linux.

The video starts off running at 1080p (which is the limit of the projector being used) with V-Sync enabled, and the frame rate is a steady 60 fps. After a minute or so, they shut off V-Sync and you'll see performance jump into the 120-200 fps range. id says there are still a few graphical glitches they're working to fix, specifically when the game hits 200 fps. Apparently there are some bugs in the game engine at 200 fps that they "weren't able to detect until they had the performance of the GTX 1080."

I guess they didn't try 980Ti's in SLI.
