Comment: The GamingOnLinux citations are the only suitable sources presented. The PCGamingWiki page is a wiki (WP:SPS); the GitHub README is a primary source (and it isn't explicit of its usage of DXVK); saying that "DXVK supports a large number of D3D titles" I think is a WP:SYNTH, since it does not explicitly say any of the claims are true, rather an extrapolation. DXVK is possibly notable, but more WP:RSs are necessary to prove it. These are not great sources, but I encourage you to find more reliable ones. SWinxy (talk) 17:41, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
DXVK is an open source translation layer which converts Direct3D 9/10/11 calls to Vulkan.[1][2][3][4] It is used by Proton/Steam[5] for Linux, by Intel Windows drivers,[6][7] VirtualBox 7.0,[8] and it can be used to run Direct3D-based games under Windows using Vulkan. DXVK supports over 20 thousand Direct3D titles.[9][failed verification]
History[edit]
DXVK was first developed by Joshua Ashton to support Direct3D 11 games only[10] as a result of poor compatibility and low performance of Wine's Direct3D 11 to OpenGL translation layer.
In 2018, the developer was sponsored by Valve to work on the project full-time in order to advance compatibility of the Linux version of Steam with Windows games.[10][11]
In 2019, DXVK received Direct3D 9 support by merging with d9vk.[12]
In November 2022, DXVK 2.0 was released, introducing improvements to Direct3D 9 memory management, shader compilation, state cache, as well as, support for Direct3D 11 feature level 12_1, and general improvements to performance and stability across numerous games.[13]
Released on January 24, 2023, DXVK 2.1 implemented HDR support and improved quality for certain old games.[14]
Released on May 12, 2023, DXVK 2.2 added D3D11On12 support.[15]
