Ubisoft's patch 4.3 for Rainbow Six: Siege brings Vulkan support to the game's PC version, allowing the game's PC version to offer gamers increased performance and features which are unavailable under DirectX 11. 

With Vulkan, Ubisoft hopes to offer PC gamers increases to both CPU and GPU performance by utilising several techniques, with the company highlighting Dynamic Texture Indexing, Render Target Aliasing/Dynamic Render Scaling and Asynchronous Compute. Let's go over each of these features in turn. 

Ubisoft has confirmed that they tested both the Vulkan and DirectX 12 APIs in Rainbow Six: Siege before settling on Vulkan as the next-generation API of choice. Rainbow Six: Siege's developers have stated that they were able to achieve better CPU performance using Vulkan, which is why the studio hasn't opted to use Microsoft's DirectX 12 API.  
 
Looks like there is improved performance with Vulcan in my opinion.
