DXVK really works around a ton of issues and oddities in older games that Windows and gpu manufactures barely, if ever, fixed.

And all because Valve hired/pays the guy who started it as an attempt to play Nier Automata on Linux (which itself is a fairly janky port)

Wait, that’s how Nvidia default gets around the VRAM eviction lockup? They just lose most of it? Lmfao. Other drivers just evict VRAM to ram/swap, so long as you have enough swap you’re good.
