(Early Access) What's new?

  • Updated Box64 0.3.3 (Custom) (Download any version you want).πŸ“₯
  • Updated Turnip Devel version (Download any version you want).πŸ“₯
  • Updated DXVK Async version (Download any version you want).πŸ“₯
  • Updated Vortek (Experimental): 8 Elite, 860, 735, 7 Gen 3, 7s Gen 3, 7s Gen 2, 6 Gen 3, 6 Gen 1.
  • Updated Screen Resolution.
  • Updated DXVK_HUD Scale & Opacity.
  • Updated FSync enabled by default, smoother and less stuttering, for PES game β˜‘οΈ "Sync Every Frame" in turnip βš™οΈ.
  • Updated ZINK_DEBUG added more options fast_texture, fast_clears, memory_leak etc.
  • Updated TU_DEBUG added more options rendering_fast, memory_align etc.
  • Updated Audio opcodes fixed.
  • Reduced temperature🌑️, memory usage optimization and improved stability.

  • Updated ZINK DESCRIPTORS added db Descriptor Buffer option to Reduced descriptors update overhead, Faster Rendering, Lower CPU utilization.

Mode Description Performance Memory Usage
lazy Cache descriptor sets, lazy updates Medium Low
db Descriptor buffer caching High Medium-High
notemplates Disable descriptor templates Low-Medium Low
cached Aggressive descriptor caching High High
auto Automatic descriptor caching Balanced Medium

Additional Considerations:

Mode CPU Usage Complexity
lazy Low Simple
db Medium-High Complex
notemplates Low Simple
cached High Complex
auto Adaptive Dynamic

  • Updated Vulkan: Windows System Integration (WSI) options.
    (1). Mailbox: Uses a mailbox queue to send frames to the screen. Advantages: reduced tearing, supports parallel rendering. Disadvantages: potential lag.
    (2). FIFO (First-In-First-Out): Sends frames to the screen in the order received. Advantages: low latency, suitable for interactive apps. Disadvantages: potential tearing.
    (3). Relaxed: Balances performance and quality by allowing parallel rendering and reduced tearing.
    (4). Immediate: Sends frames directly to the screen without queuing. Advantages: minimal latency. Disadvantages: potential tearing and high power consumption.

Mode Latency Tearing Performance Visual Quality
Mailbox High Low Low High
FIFO Low High High Low
Relaxed Medium Medium Medium Medium
Immediate Very Low High High Low

  • Updated WEAKBARRIER (WB) options.
    (1). 0: Disables weak barrier, potentially increasing performance but possibly causing synchronization issues.
    (2). 1: Enables weak barrier (default), balancing performance and stability.
    (3). 2: Enables stronger weak barrier, improving synchronization but potentially reducing performance.
    Effects:
    (1). Performance: Value 0 may improve performance, while value 2 may slow it down.
    (2). Stability: Values 1 and 2 enhance stability, while value 0 may cause issues.
    (3). Compatibility: Values 1 and 2 improve compatibility with synchronization-sensitive applications.

Value Description Performance Stability Compatibility
0 Disabled Highest Lowest May cause issues
1 Enabled (default) Balanced Good Wide compatibility
2 Stronger barrier Lowest Highest Best for sensitive apps

  • Updated WINE GST options by default.
    Use Cases:
    (1). Gaming: WINE_GST=OFF for better performance.
    (2). General use: WINE_GST=ON for balanced performance and quality.

Value Description Performance Quality Compatibility
ON Enable GST Balance Improved Wide
OFF Disable GST Faster Lower Limited

Optimization:

NFS MW with the same graphics settings, also GTA 4 fixed glitches πŸ“ˆ performance.

⚠️ NOTE !!:

Results can vary based on the device used, environmental conditions, and other factors, such as simultaneous processing, and different processor capabilities.

*Note: If you experience errors/crashes, try changing another DXVK/Graphics driver that suits your device.

  • Updated Wine Environment (Wine Is Not an Emulator)
  • Updated Box64 (Experimental) to run rpcs3 emulator need hardware support.
  • Updated Dynarec Forward & Fast Rounding.
  • Updated Mesa Turnip drivers 2.5.0.0-xx.
  • Updated DXVK 2.5.1.2-xx-xxx.
  • Updated HDR supported.
  • Updated Async fixes by default DXVK_ASYNC environment variable.
  • Updated State cache fixes by default DXVK_GPLASYNCCACHE environment variable.
  • Updated Caches pipeline state by default, which can reduce stuttering. DXVK_STATE_CACHE
  • Updated GPL can be used together with state cache that is not possible on upstream, state cache should work properly with async and gpl if using Async cache option. May cause crashes on some drivers. but it can be useful depending on game, due to this if you are low on RAM, it can be better to disable it.
  • Updated Screen Size Aspect Ratio 20:9 (Full screen).
  • Updated Device Memory Limit (Fixed crash).
  • Updated FrameRate (FPS variable).
  • Updated Mesa.
  • Added enable.fifo configuration path to the game folder, for smoother gaming experience.
  • Added GPU variable (A830).
  • Updated opcodes and workarounds A6xx.
  • Fixed audio in some application.
  • Reduce RAM usage up to ~11.5% and performance optimization.

⚠️ NOTE !!:

Results can vary based on the device used, environmental conditions, and other factors, such as simultaneous processing, and different processor capabilities.

*Note: If you experience crashes, try changing another Graphics driver that suits your device.
