The Vulkan backend has come a long way and it is time to spread his wings a bit more. This change will make the vulkan backend available in a regular release starting from 4.3. Vulkan is still experimental and performance isn't there yet. But it gives add-on developers already time to check if their add-ons work. Main goal for the vulkan project is to get a better understanding which platforms are supported. - NVIDIA GTX900 and up should be supported using the official NVIDIA drivers. This means that support for GTX700/800 is currently not available. This is related to dynamic rendering. - AMD Polaris and up are supported using the AMD drivers. When using the open source drivers I believe the support level is around GCN2. - Intel CPUs are supported from UHD (6th gen) on Linux. On windows it requires features that are not available on all latest drivers and a workaround should be added on our side. - Intel GPUs are supported preferrable using the latest drivers on Windows and Linux Some render artifacts are showing when using EEVEE but the cause is clear and would assume to solve them before the actual release.
