NoGraphicsAPI is released (MIT license)!
It's a low-level Vulkan 1.4 wrapper using latest extensions (BDA, descriptor heap, device address commands, unified image layouts) to get as close as possibly to my No Graphics API blog post and SIGGRAPH 26 talk.

Good read, worth bearing in mind that in identifying a GPU bottleneck, dropping the graphics preset might affect CPU perf as well, even dropping the resolution might as the renderer could use it for some form of culling (eg screen area/occlusion tests). wccftech.com/how-to/cpu-or-g…
