DXVK improves performance in mainly draw call (CPU) bound scenarios (e.g. draw distance), and usually doesn't help much in GPU bound ones (e.g. resolution)
It is possible that DXVK won't change anything for you, or even make things worse
Nvidia users on driver version >=520.56.06 and >=DXVK 2.0 will have a smoother experience thanks to a change in DXVK's caching system. AMD users can have the same benefit on driver version >=24.2.1 and DXVK >=2.4. This might not be supported in Intel GPU drivers (needs verification).
DXVK's GPU compatibility varies between manufacturers
Nvidia GPU laptops must use theDXGI interop. Using it on desktops is not required, but highly recommended for the most optimal experience
AMD GPUs must use theDXGI interop, otherwise they will suffer from severe performance issues or fail to launch the game. Shader issues are more common on Windows compared to other GPUs (situation is completely reversed on Linux).
Intel GPUs from 6th Gen and newer can work provided you havenewest driversinstalled. On some iGPUs, DXVK is broken past the 1.10.1 version
Due to DXVK's nature it relies on shader cache, which is compiled during the first use of that shader. Because of that you can experience increased short stutter at the beginning of your playthrough. This is completely normal and will not reoccur after compilation has finished.
HDR Mod
HDR-Mod is a DXVK mod made by Lilium (aka EndlesslyFlowering) and Wall_SoGB with the intention of adding HDR functionality to D3D9 games. Effectively it does 2 major things:
Allows to display the game in HDR (10 or 16 bit).
Upgrades the precision with which the game calculates colors, greatly reducing banding - as long as you have a 10 bit display or better.
This allows for HDR output and eliminates color banding from the game.
