I believe that videogames, specially AAA, must be system agnostic and must be playable where ever, using the proper compatibility tool if needed...
DXVK indeed help with this.

Is that the amount of system RAM used or the amount GPU memory used?
I don't know for certain, but I would expect it to be the GPU allocation, since that is what DXVK is most interested in. CPU allocation is less important since the OS can provide virtual memory.
If it is the GPU memory used, that can explain the FPS drops, because my GTX 970 has 3.5GB....

What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

Two months since the last one... That is a lot of time!
ups! I have to correct myself...
There is a new PROTON version!!!

Fix for fullscreen behavior in Into The Breach.
Fix for crashes in some d3d9 games on Mesa.
Fix for crash when launching certain games, including Path of Exile, the Bloons series, and the Naruto Shippuden series.
Fix for games with special characters in paths, including LEGO Harry Potter.
Improved controller behavior in some games, especially Unity-based games like Subnautica and INSIDE.
Update DXVK to v0.96.
Update FAudio to 19.02.
Restore previous functionality of the Uplay client.
New runtime option for old games that can't handle modern GL extension strings. Set PROTON_OLD_GL_STRING to limit the extension string length.
New runtime option to disable d3d10 support, PROTON_NO_D3D10.
Better support for games that use very old steamworks SDKs, including Lost Planet.
Fixed various problems with the build system, and added a new top-level Makefile to make simple builds much easier.
