    Phoronix: Wine-Staging 1.9.21 Improves Its Vulkan Wrapper

    Re-basing to last week's Wine 1.9.21 release is a new version of Wine-Staging that incorporates various experimental/testing patches atop this code-base for running Windows binaries on Linux and other operating systems...

    Someone should test a vulkan game with a windows and linux version as a WINE vs native. To see if windows vulkan performs closer to native or closer to what we expect from WINE. Would be interesting.

          Presumably this is with 64-bit. We expect a _significant_ performance hit with 32-bit applications due to differences in the 32-bit ABI.

            Wow, those vulkan native vs wine are essentially identical. So are Pontostroy's result. This is pretty exciting! Thanks for doing the testing.

              Wine IS native.
              It's nothing but a set of compatibility libraries. There's no inherent reason for wine programs to run slower.

                Have you done them again on wine-staging 1.9.21 to see if the vulkan-wrapper changes made much difference?

                  This looks good for the future. Now all we need is a Vulkan update to GTA5/Witcher3/Fallout4/SkyrimAE ....

                    Apart from the fact that you are converting system calls win->linux and dx->opengl (vulkan is basically passthrough apart for windows-specific extensions).

                    Totally not going to impact performance to add a layer of redirection and conversion.
