This update, among other things, adds support for VK_EXT_descriptor_heap, which should bring significant performance boost to Nvidia cards, once it's properly implemented.

No one should buy a product on a promise of future functionality. The answer is a clear "no" as of now.

    I agree on that, but Nvidia GPU are by far the most common GPUs among gamers. Some of them might be excited to hear that their HDR woes are getting fixed at some point, possibly in near-ish future. Some people in that forum thread are saying that the HDR extensions are actually already included in the driver, even though the Nvidia guy said otherwise.
