Many thanks cybermax

Quoting: mylkait isnt really a problem, because these CPUs are not meant for gaming, except you are into stardew valley, nidhogg and point and click adventures
Yeah this cpus is used for lite gaming aka 60fps, lower details and screen resolutions closer to 720p

However yeah for lastest games is difficult (cpu is slow and gpu too*) but a 720p many games works

*Caused by lower cpu clock frecuency, low quantity of shaders-rops-tmus, memory bandwith too low and higher lantencies provided by system ram

Quoting: mylka
Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: mylkaand again............ VULKAN graphics cards are powerful enough to translate every dx9 only game to OPENGL with 100+ FPS.
Even low end integrated GPUs support Vulkan now. Vulkan support in GPUs has nothing to do with expected performance.
i dont think someone buys an IGP and wants to play AAA 3D games, because thats also pretty hard on windows
i know a ryzen 3 can play GTA5 on windows with 720p and low settings, but if you really want to play, you need a dedicated graphics card. i was expecting, that we are on the same page here. i said "card"... a card isnt an IGP, which you normally dont use for gaming

but maybe someone has a ryzen 3 and can test dishonored on it with proton
Vega 8 / Vega 11 suffer same problem and this problem is system shared memory is too slow compared for example ddr5 64bit 6000mhz

Amd needs put for example hbm, this can fix problem of actual igps but hbm is not cheap

Quoting: YoRHa-2B
Quoting: mylkavulkan cards are much newer than the latest dx9 game with the best graphics (outlast, dark souls 2)
so these cards can easily translate dx9 to opengl with 100+ fps
Graphics cards don't translate anything, the CPU does the heavy lifting. And Dishonored 1 (being one of the later D3D9 titles out there) runs at a whopping 30 FPS on my Ryzen 2700X + RX 480 with wined3d in some scenes. That much for "100+ FPS" on modern hardware.

Now wined3d could probably be improved significantly by using more modern OpenGL (PBA sort of did that as a proof-of-concept), but someone would actually have to do that in a way that is acceptable for wine upstream, and you'd probably still end up with something that's slower than a solid Vulkan-based implementation.
Yeah dx9 traslation in wine (need so much single thread horsepower) is very demanding in my case runs better but have core i3 8350k at 5.0ghz (around 25% better than ryzen 2xxx on single thread)

With csmt wine only use 2 cores at max

Dishonored (in video can see how % of use each core)



Last test with Pentium G3258 @ 4.1ghz + Artic Cooling Alpine 11 Plus

With Core i3 8350K Tri-Core @ 5.0ghz + CoolerMaster Hyper T4

d9vk could improve that for dont need 5ghz cpu

If you stay using steam on wine maybe can appear odd behaviour: consist steamwebhelper (wine create 2 process of steamwebhelper) up cpu usage and on /bin/cef/cef.win7/ on steam folder

Create debug file and grow very quickly (in my case in 2 min up to 2.2gb and more)

If appear before cited behaviour, kill steamwebhelper process with higher cpu usage (another process dont need kill it) and on /bin/cef/cef.win7/ see if have debug file and follow to delete it and delete chrome_elf and libcef.dll

Before cited steps with steam opened and logged

In this wine version include Faudio however in this moment stay talking with various distributions about faudio packaging

https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2019-March/140676.html [External Link]

And today Faudio put new release 19.03

Kron4ek Builds stay avalaible (installation is similar dxvk)

In other issues with this wine coolermaster hyper t4 used with core i3 8350K tri-core 5.0ghz will be upgraded to zalman cnps 10x performa+ (gain around 5 to 6 degrees less)











Maybe in future cooler can be upgraded too for masterfan pro 120 air balance 84CFM:



And tower is upgraded too

Quoting: legluondunet
Quoting: hardpenguinMeanwhile I am here with a couple of niche games using D3D8 that are currently crashing in Wine :S:
For games using directx < 9 that does not work well with Wine, I'm using DxWnd [External Link]. This soft works very well with wine, I regurlary use it with wine when a game crashes (old directx version) or to put game fullscreen in a wine window.
Works well for this games with wine:
Motoracer 1 et 2
Virtua Fighter
Syberia
Starwars episode 1 Racer
Splinter Cell
Joshua Aston said this on phoronix

Some do!

Don't worry, d9vk will support d3d8 too once I get the ball rolling
Very interesting project

Is this Yakuza 0 or Yakuza Kiwami?

I know Yakuza 0 works via SteamPlay / DXVK, but Kiwami got released yesterday and I'm curious if it works as well (there are no reports on ProtonDB [External Link] yet).
Hi is only yakuza 0 but kiwami i dont have it ........ for now
