What I want to see in 2023 for Linux, Gaming, Steam Deck and more

Valve said it themselves that they want to keep the main internals (CPU/GPU) the same to have a good point for developers and gamersHow often do they want to refresh the APU though? Hopefully not once in 5-7 years like incumbent consoles. Following more PC refresh cycle (2 years) is reasonable.

Does MS force their studios not to use Vulkan?
Proton Hotfix from Valve gets The Witcher 3 next-gen DX12 working on Steam Deck

Nothing improved for me even with the hotfix, it's still pretty bottlenecked on something and not saturating the GPU in DX12 mode.

I doubt that would be so easy as disabling DLLs.

Really impressive work!
I hope ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 will be usable at some point with radv, since there is no way to test how vkd3d-proton performs with it so far.

Quoting: Guestwitcher 3 now uses dxr raytracing, it needs dx12, because there is no dx11 raytracing implementation, at least modern and useful one . maybe part of the rendering code is translation of dx11 to dx12 but it is necessary anyway and might work faster just because of lower dx12 overheadNope, DX12 version works much worse and doesn't load GPU fully resulting in dips to 40 fps for me, while in DX11 mode this new version hits 160-180 fps even on Ultra+ settings.

Performance experience with DX12 version is really bad. DX11 one works well.

Some performance targeted commits were merged post 8.0-rc1 so keep that in mind. Hopefully rc2 will get better.

I just tested cyberpunk 2077 with this new Wine - pretty massive framerate drop there, close to 20 fps reduction for me.

Yeah, I've seen some reviews about coil whine. I hope Sapphire Pulse models are going to be better. Nitro+ ones are a bit too power hungry.
