DOTA2 VULKAN HD4400

I have:

Windows 10 64bit,
Latest intel driver from https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2016/03/14/new-intel-vulkan-beta-1540204404-graphics-driver-for-windows-78110-1540
Latest client of game DOTA2 with Vulkan api sdk.
Enable the Dota 2 Vulkan DLC and launch the game with the -vulkan switch.
Intel NUC i3 4-th gen Haswell. (in 2014, Intel was screaming on all promotional posters that this is the best integrated graphics in the world)

I see: 0 (zero) FPS increase!

This is normal?
Or I did not fulfill any more the action?

Hi Serg,

driver v4404 supports Vulkan only for Skylake officially.

You can check if Vulkan renderer is active in VConsole2 coming with DOTA 2

Hi Serg,

Vulkan is only supported in 6th Generation and newer graphics. So your result is expected as 4th Generation can not take advantage of Vulkan.

This is bad, you start to to lose.
My friends who have older laptops on AMD+amd video, talk about growth in the game at 30-40 fps.
