WINE 1.1.21 Starts On Shader Model 4 Support

As far as I know, DX10 games are entirely based on SM4 shaders. And those run directly on the GPU. That means there is no D3D > OGL translation, and no performance-loss.

they sure as hell use sm4 but entirely based on sm4?

decent. Unfortunately DX10 games would run admirably slow on even the best of hardware. SM4 is a big deal but for the long run they should be focusing on actually speeding up the d3d-ogl translations.
