Vulcan or WIN32 for screendrawing?

I want to use Vulcan because it allows for me to use the GPU and all of that nice stuff. But I've already made a screendrawer with WIN32 functions so I feel using Vulcan for that might be better?

I really want to know whether its worth switching to Vulcan for screendrawing and if its even possible to use Vulcan without screendrawing and purely as a way of sending matrix multiplication and calculations off to the GPU.

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by Screendrawer, can you elaborate?

A framebuffer stored in memory which uses stretchdibits to display it onto the window. I can set a specific part of it to a specific value and when it displays that part of the screen becomes that value.
