🟦 Video Description:
In this video, I will show you how to install DXVK for DX9, DX10, and DX11 games (this also includes D8VK for DX8). This can significantly improve the FPS of single-player games with older APIs by reducing the CPU bottleneck caused by driver overhead.

Download links:
DXVK: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/rel...
DXVK-GPLAsync: https://gitlab.com/Ph42oN/dxvk-gplasy...
7-ZIP: https://7-zip.org/download.html

Instructions:
1. Download DXVK and DXVK-GPLAsync from the links above and use 7-ZIP to extract the files.
2. For GPLAsync, create a text file and copy-paste these commands into it:

dxvk.enableAsync=true
dxvk.gplAsyncCache=true

3. Rename the file to `dxvk.conf` and copy-paste it into both the x32 and x64 folders for easy access.
4. Open your game folder and copy the necessary files to the folder containing the game executable. If you are unsure of the game API or whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit, you can Google it or use trial and error. I use MSI Afterburner with RTSS to display FPS, which also tells me the API.

Troubleshooting:
If you experience crashing or freezing, disable overlays like RTSS or reinstall Vulkan Runtime.
If it still doesn't work, it might be due to anti-cheat software or incompatibility with the specific game.

🟦 Frequently Asked Questions:
Is there performance loss from recording? ► No, I use an Elgato 4K X Capture Card with OBS on a separate system.

What driver version are you using? ► Check the GPU driver version in the overlay.

What software do you use for displaying performance numbers? ► RTSS for the overlay, MSI Afterburner for FPS/frame time, and HWINFO64 for everything else.

Do you have REBAR turned on? ► Yes, Resizable BAR (REBAR) is enabled and XMP is turned on.
