I'm making games. Just out of curiosity - what do you mean by "output useful performance metrics"? How do you imagine the most helpful way to do that?

[humbug]

exposing NVIDIA graphics now to D3D games as AMD graphics in order to prevent Windows games from trying to load NVIDIA-specific Windows libraries

LOL !

Wow, they are making some pretty fast progress here.
I'm sure it's a very low priority, but I hope they get DX10 and proper surround sound working soon. It's a bit confusing, since there is working DX11 support, and I don't really understand how you can skip DX10 compatibility.

Pretty sure there is a DXUP project to upconvert DX10 to DX11 so it can go via DXVK to Vulkan

Is there a newer game compatibility list than the one they showed at launch? I've been unable to find it.

Wut, I just wanted to paste a link... And there is no edit button on mobile...

Rotate your device to landscape mode.

Is it possible to re-implement some of the NVIDIA-specific libraries? This would also give games a possible performance boost under AMD cards.

Thats not developed anymore since it is included in dxvk now. Biggest issue is the d3dcompiler dll that is needed by most dx10 games. Otherwise it should be there.
