on Dirt 3 benchmark results seems have very similar performance than 10.14

also this wine come with this:

Jacek Caban (8):
opengl32/tests: Add memory mapping tests.
opengl32: Simplify wow64 memory mapping error handling.
opengl32: Implement wrap_wglCreateContext on top of wrap_wglCreateContextAttribsARB.
opengl32: Factor out free_context.
opengl32: Introduce a wow64 buffer wrapper.
opengl32: Move copy buffer allocation to Unix lib.
opengl32: Use generated PE thunks for memory mapping functions.
opengl32: Use generated PE thunks for memory unmapping functions.
but in practice dx7 games using wined3d still have very bad performance like resident evil 3 classic in my case

Once we can stop caring about these GPUs we can nuke all of this along with the legacy path, but yeah for now this is going to be very annoying to maintain.
On bad news in future according before any amd gpu based on rdna 2 and before* go to legacy path
