Phoronix: Direct3D 9 Over Vulkan Hits New Milestone

A developer's effort to implement Direct3D 9 (D3D9) over the Vulkan API has now reached its "fourth milestone" but a lot of work remains...

Excellent work!

Agreed. When I play, it's still mostly older DX games so this working in the latest software is just damn nice.

Wonder what the motivation was.

2020... with 75% of graphics performances...
Dx9 is not the only thing to run games, there is inputs, sound, ia, interfaces...

This project is a good thing but need to be followed and in link with more others projects (sdl for example)

Gallium Nine with CSMT activated is now better than the native performance: http://www.gearsongallium.com/?p=3522

75% for now, considering the concern isn't even performance for now.
This is a Vulkan <- D3D9 layer. It's not an implementation of DirectX. Wine does this.

"In link with more projects (sdl for example)" -- what? you missed out what this is meant for.

Wow, the roadmap... https://github.com/disks86/VK9/wiki/Roadmap That's a pretty organized man.

What the hell is Gallium Nine with CSMT? Never heard about it...
