DXVK-GPLALL

• Compiler: MSVC

  • Operating System: Windows - IMPORTANT NOTE

    • Recommended build, if you have:

      a) Any CPU older than AMD Zen (Zen1) or Intel Haswell: SSE2-O2-LTCG

      b) AMD CPU, such as AMD Zen (Zen1) and newer: AVX2-O2-LTCG-AMD64

      c) Intel CPU, such as Intel Haswell and newer: SSE4.2-O2-LTCG-INTEL64

• Compiler: GCC

  • Operating System - Any - WinMacLinux

    • Recommended build, if you have:

      a) Any CPU older than AMD Zen (Zen1) or Intel Haswell: SSE2-O3-LTO

      b) AMD CPU, such as AMD Zen (Zen1) and newer: SSE4.2-O3-LTO-GENERIC

      c) Intel CPU, such as Intel Haswell and newer: SSE4.2-O3-LTO-INTEL

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MSVC BUILDS:

It is possible to use MSVC builds of DXVK on Linux systems with Wine and they might be more performant than GCC builds - Proof. But in order to use MSVC builds of DXVK-GPLALL on Linux systems the user must have latest MSVCRT in their Wine prefix.

DXVK Native-GPLALL

Use case - Development of native or port application.

• Compiler: GCC

  • Operating System - depends on target of native or port application.

    • Recommended build, if you target:

      a) Any CPU older than AMD Zen (Zen1) or Intel Haswell: SSE2-O3-LTO

      b) Any up-to-date CPU, such as AMD Zen (Zen1) and newer, or Intel Haswell and newer: SSE4.2-O3-LTO-GENERIC

      c) Intel CPU, such as Intel Haswell and newer: SSE4.2-O3-LTO-INTEL
