Comment on [Gamers Nexus] The RTX 50 Disaster
tias@discuss.tchncs.de 6 days agoExactly. I don’t think it’s that there is “no hardware level support for dx11/9” - hardware isn’t really drastically different depending on API. The problem is that they introduce an additional software-based emulation layer instead of natively implementing D3D 8/9/10/11.

Yes, but DXVK is a very, very good translation layer and is very performant. I can vouch for it as a Linux user who uses it on a regular basis.
Some people even use DXVK to make older games run better on Windows (most notably GTA IV)
