On my crappy cherryview cpu, g9 is more preformant than dxvk by a considerable ammount. and as for running g9 over zink. maybe it will come in use one day. I see it helpful for Vbox which uses it for its dx9 backend now I believe.1

On my Athlon 5350, g9 get's me equal or better performance than d9 games running on XP So thanks to the Devs!

This Mike Blumenkrantz guy is amazing! ♥️

Thank you for all your work and your valuable contributions! 🙏️

this one is useful unlike zink. now proton should support it out of the box

Sad to see Lutris 0.5.9 removing Gallium Nine support just when Gallium Nine gets more updates that boost its performance.

Wow, that's stupid. Tells a lot that managing a checkbox option to register DLLs in a prefix is already too much of a maintenance burden for them...

On the other hand, they still didn't remove the "enable ACO" checkbox, which is basically RADV_PERFTEST=aco and it's obsolete since Mesa 20.2. Yeah, really stupid..

Interesting, is it working at all after that (with radeonsi)?

Lutris is written in Python... my take of which is that it is a great prototyping language, but you should really rewrite any serious software into something more robust.
