DXVK GPU recommendations?

Hardware GPU

So here’s what we know DXVK needs:

  • Good Async compute performance (it helps even though that pipeline method was recently abandoned in favor of something else)

  • Proper overhead compensation (As of current, there’s still a GPU overhead translating calls to Vulkan)

  • Solid Vulkan driver support

So, with these points in mind, what would be the best at different price brackets?

I’d say the GTX 1060 6GB for budget, the 1080 for midrange, and of course go all out with RTX for the high end.

This is also a good discussion ground of the various overheads encountered playing DXVK versus native DX11. Cause this can help overhead calculations for getting a suitable GPU for some titles.

As we move forward with more people using Proton/Steam Play, the GPU overhead discussion is going to be a big one.

Used Vega FE for like $400?

Oh wait nvm, still alright though I guess

Yeah, as of current, the Nvidia Vulkan drivers seem to work with more games, and some games have bugs exclusive to RADV.

If people more experienced with RADV are able to pitch into this conversation, feel free to steer me that way.
