Features

If supported by the driver, DXVK will now use theVK_NV_raw_access_chains extensions to allow more efficient shader code generation on specifically on Nvidia GPUs. This is intended to close the gap to Windows performance drivers specifically in D3D11 games inGPU-bound scenarios, but not all games will see an improvement.

Note: This extension is currently only supported on Vulkan beta drivers, version550.40.55 or later, and currently requires Proton Experimental.

Bug fixes and Improvements

• Fixed invalid SPIR-V being generated for Renderdoc internal D3D11 shaders.
• Fixed undefined behaviour with out-of-bounds constant buffer loads with dynamic indices.
• Fixed HDR not being enabled forDXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_FLOAT swap chains.
• Reworked thedxgi.syncInterval option to also apply to D3D12 games.
• Reverted the use ofVK_FORMAT_A8_UNORM due to rendering issues in some games.
• D3D9 games will now set theVkApplicationInfo::applicationVersion field to 1.
• Reworked how dynamic system memory buffers are copied to the GPU in D3D9 games. (PR#3765)
  This improves performance in games such asShank 2 (#3755),Flammable Freddy (#2375) andBlood Rayne (#1828).
