The only thing that bothers me is the cheap ass asset flip games that have no enjoyable characteristics or game-play at all. I guess its not terrible if they sell them for $1, but they are kinda deceiving.

Can't you just install MacOS on a normal machine with the right hardware? pretty sure that was a thing. Yep looked it up, plenty of guides. However the MacOS may only fully support specific video cards, like Vega for example.

Better then paying $10k for a sticker. Which you can print out yourself :)

Apple only support up to OpenGL4.1 if I remember correctly, so it's not a huge loss. If they supported 4.5+ then it be very unfortunate. It's not hard for them to offer support given that their hardware vendors actively do work on that side of things.

Maybe developers will start using MoltenVK more, we can only hope. If less games appear on AppleOS then it could mean we will get less ports on Linux also as developers go full agro.

Its just one of the drop down list options sort of thing in whatever runner you setup.

Just use Lutris if your having trouble, pretty close to out of the box DXVK support. Just don't expect it to be all smooth sailing, still many games have odd issues that need work arounds.

Still requires allot of tinkering and patches, for example FO4 and SkyrimSE work without the dsound/fo4 fixes which I don't think are even merged yet.

Then there is still odd sound cut out and render glitches in some games, you can sometimes fix them but requires lots of trial and error, and random luck.

Been playing FO4 lately, finally got it working without sound cutting out 20mins in, but that doesn't mean it won't happen again because of the effect of planetary alignment on my prefix...

or if I don't hold my tongue at the correct angle.

Well it could be passed to OpenGL to be done. Not sure how well that will work however, could kill performance, but then again we are talking about a small part of a game being affected here not the entire render pipeline.

Witcher 3 works with DXVK, but physX hair doesn't work and there are some NPCs suffering triangle-hell mutations. Apparently related to missing Stream output.
I have a funny feeling DXVK will figure out a workaround that just resolves it another way instead of relying on VulkanAPI to do it. Hopefully.

Deep Rock Galactic (DXVK), some Dying Light, wish I could afford beer :/

Quoting: GuestUrgh, nothing!
so I can finally play wow with decent performance for once.

DXVK not good enough? wow is dx11 now isn't it?

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/343 [External Link] (second last post shows you howto steal amdgpu-pro vulkan files for better performance!)

Not sure how well it works at present, always worth trying latest master and drivers!

Phoronix AMD vs NVIDIA results (latest) [External Link]

AMD is doing fine, the RX580 is one of the best buys while results for Vega can be somewhat varied. Hopefully AMD figure out a 1080ti killer at low TDP (250W?) sometime. Honestly the world is moving onto 4k and anything less then a 1080ti is asking for trouble....
