D8VK v1.0 Released For Running Direct3D 8 Games Atop Vulkan

[pinguinpc]

Wasn't it absorbed in DXVK?

As for D8VK, nice news. Hope for older versions too, not so much for performance but for compatibility in the future.

Yeah is a big step for old games and win in most test vs wined3d and d3d8to9

In my tests run very well









Respect older version them stay working on this

1500 or 1800 fps, does it even matter? If you want it, run them yourselves. There are better things to waste your time on.

That's an additional hour of battery life on the Steam Deck

Enable VSYNC and the difference will be 5 seconds of battery life over the course of 5 hours of play.

Fingers crossed for D7VK at some point - which should open up modding possibilities for Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII PC

Caught myself rummaging around for the old FFVIII CD's a couple weeks ago.

Remember the old TNT fix it used to ship with?

No, it won't. If a driver is much faster it will still consume way less power when you cap the framerate.

If this can fix the shadow buffers issue with non period correct nvidia or amd cards for splinter cell games then it is a must have for me.

I have mixed experience with this, for some reason I cannot get shadow buffers to work in Splinter Cell either with d8vk nor with dgVoodo2 (only projector shadows work) but for Pandora Tomorrow d8vk worked like a charm.

You've tested it, right?
