think i'll have to get a new computer soon so i can finally try gta v :pcgaming:

dxvk, vulkan implementation of d3d11
DXUP, d3d10 -> d3d11 translation layer so you can use dxvk for d3d10 too
wine-staging
esync patch, makes cpu bound programs that does a lot of synchronization a lot less demanding on wine
PBA patchset, to make WoW and other opengl stuff go smooth by i guess

post your favourite linux gaming moments in this thread

just now wine gained support for vulkan under macos too, because of codeweavers and moltenvk

and i forgot to mention, there's also VK9, a d3d9 translation layer

dxvk 0.63 out with lower cpu overhead and support for the latest nvidia driver
wine 3.13 out with support for vulkan on macos! due to moltenvk

everyone that does 3d stuff on macos should use moltenvk

hmm, yes, a rejection for using internals is totally the same as a rejection to steer a developer to platform technology

did you see that MoltenVK is actually using internals and just took a PR to stop doing so?

yep, it went over quite fast actually, i'm impressed

and being all /r/linux about phoronix is not that constructive, show me any other site, any at all, that actually does graphics benchmarking on linux. he also maintains that test suite of his that has become the defacto cross-platform benchmarking suite

I don't care if wine is a bit buggy, it runs the games that matter

It's the DX Simulator software from yamaha, it's probably useless when you don't have the hardware it controls through midi

I've got an old MU-2000EX with the DX board in it, it sounds like this

this thread suddenly got a lot more relevant too, it finally emerged who were financing dxvk!

extremely awesome, it seems like this could push a lot of people over the linux edge

dont use wine. play official ports, use a passthrough windows vm, and boot into window for games that dont like vm (counter-strike)

with an ssd and grub menu, rebooting into windows a breeze. the power of free and open source linux. "linux: it's about choice"

no

what the hell, "counter-strike"? all cs versions has been out on linux since valve started the focus on linux

moltenvk 1.0.20 out, maybe interesting because they've wired up a few more extensions

now if all the people in the project thread could stop fiddling with metal and get going with moltenvk it would be great

why would I want to do that? metal is nicer than vulkan IMHO.

if I’m writing something for windows it’s gonna use DX, mac and ios versions use metal (mac also gets opengl if I wanna support old macs like my home 2011 iMac LOL). linux never enters into the picture.

even if you only use vulkan, you’re gonna have to do platform and vendor specific tweaks anyway.

i can't do anything about you hating on linux, but why would you use dx on windows if you could just make all the graphics stuff with vulkan from the start. it's not like vulkan's not working in windows.

vulkan works everywhere, so why not use it

because using the platform API instead of a third party wrapper will always result in something that’s better for the user

you say that, but i can't see why
