If so, what are your computer specs? and how well or bad it runs?

    This is gonna be more windows centric as I game on windows, but I do use dxvk so it’s probably not going to be that far off.

    I5-1135G7, iris xe 80 eu, 16 gb of ram. I got around 40 fps in the benchmark on dx9, 50 fps on dxvk. This was on older Intel arc drivers. Vulkan performance has been consistent on their drivers but there may be some improvement. I was running 1080p medium settings, no anti aliasing and tri-linear as filtering.

    I had an old i7 8550u laptop with a Radeon 530 2GB DDR3 graphics card. It ran GTA IV about the same with an older version of dxvk, but it had some performance issues because I couldn’t find a higher wattage adapter for it and would throttle.

    ALSO TURN OFF SHADOWS. For whatever reason, it’s handled by the CPU.

      I didn’t know you even could run dxvk on windows, what’s the reason for doing that?

        Sounds like the have an Intel Arc GPU. It has little to no hardware support for dx9, but very good support for Vulcan.

          Even on my old graphics card, which did have dx9 support, it helped. Now older titles might have better performance on new drivers.

          Are people really using the Arc? Had thought it was a developer preview rather than an actual consumer product

            A decent amount of people use arc now because it’s good value. I’m on Iris Xe integrated graphics which is basically baby Arc. I don’t know if it has all of Arc’s quirks or just some.
