RTX 2060 super appears interesting however model without rt cores must be have lower tdp and reduced factor too

This wine version comes with remi bernon virtual memory work

And D9VK still work, this is some examples:

Dead Rising 2 (in this title d9vk give around 120fps compared with around 50fps by wined3d)

AMD reveal details on Ryzen 9 3950X and Radeon RX 5700 at E3
11 Jun 2019 at 3:11 pm UTC

Quoting: x_wingAnd that's a advantage for Linux users as it means that AMDGPU DRM won't require huge changes in order to work with the newer hardware (hopefully).

I'll definitely upgrade to a Ryzen 2 CPU this year (my i5 3470k is getting old...), but I'm not sure if I'll go for a 5700 (maybe a Vega, if their prices are reduced)
GCN must be die for future (good for compute but dont enough in gaming), Arcturus maybe can give better tdp and another improvements

However yes is a big change and needs time, amd devs must be stay working now for when stay ready in 2020

Respect your i5 3470k, if you wait until now maybe must wait until next year because appears ddr5 (higher frecuencies) and in your case needs change memory

And maybe amd have better chipsets with better fabrication node 7nm ?, aka better temperatures (passive cooling) and tdp

Quoting: BrisseI don't think it will offer much new in terms of compute performance since they are marketing this solely as "gaming gpu" and they've said that Vega will remain since it's still competitive in compute.

If Navi was a compute beast then the marketing pitch wouldn't have been like this.

Apparently the chipsets TDP is quite a bit higher to facilitate all that high speed connectivity with PCIe 4.0.

Don't need PCIe 4.0? Then you might be better of with a X470 board which has a lower TDP chipset.

Good news is that these new CPU's will work in most older boards but obviously you miss out on PCIe 4.0 and perhaps on RAM-performance as well if you put them in an older board.

Navi is more GCN+ (rdna seems is only a trademark) and tdp seems higher,
I think real change comes with arcturus in 2020

X570 chipset like a crap (because amd dont use 7nm): big, hotter, active dissipation and pci-e 4.0 dont needed for now meanwhile x470 and older chipset dont have this problems

However wait for ddr5 in 2020 because offer higher frecuencies (ddr5 5000mhz or 5200mhz will be nice) and future ryzen must be benefit of ddr5 frecuencies

D9VK for translating D3D9 to Vulkan in Wine has a big new release out

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMurdered Soul Suspect (in DX9), Enemy Front (in DX9) and Alan Wake??
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Murdered would make use of DX11. o.O

And works great with DXVK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO04FVYV0Ew [External Link]
Murderer soul suspect have both modes (dx9-dx11) but dx9 is needed for pass cementery as Comandante Ñoñardo said in past

Quoting: leillo1975Good info as always. Please, check GT Legends.
Yeah but i finish bayonetta test and runs very good 70% less cpu usage in core 0 and 1 compared wined3d and more smooth

However once finish vanquish, test gt legends (with d9vk stay on graphic menu, push to play and back to menu :() and race 07 too

D9VK for D3D9 over Vulkan in Wine has another release out, advancing quickly
13 May 2019 at 12:28 pm UTC Likes: 9

This d9vk version have improvements compared with wined3d for example:

Star trek 2013 shows textures correctly (wined3d shows various textures in black), duke nuke forever now shows correctly (no more light problem) and other titles case dirt 1 (in my case) dont run with regular wined3d implementation but with d9vk runs

Without forget d9vk framerate is more smooth with more performance and less cpu usage compared wined3d
