The intent of this PR is to enable Reflex for all D3D11, and D3D12 titles using dxvk-nvapi. It does this through a new device interface called ID3DLowLatencyDevice, which will be exposed from vkd3d...
Wouldn’t that be super complicated in linux? On windows they had huge probelms with frame timings and vsync and only later got fixed… that was on windows which has single DE and single display server model/protocol. On linux i feel that would be a total mess between wayland and xorg and different DEs. Especially considering the DE controls much of the frames timings, vrr and vsync in wayland. Hell even gnome still can’t get basic vrr frames to display in correct order.
It shouldn’t be that bad. Compositors already try to get out of the way of fullscreen windows. We already have VRR working great, been using it for months and it’s absolutely flawless. So if the game just needs to push out more (generated) frames, it can probably work fairly decently as-is.
Vsync and perfect frames was one of the original and primary goals of Wayland. I haven’t had weird stutters and frame pacing/timing issues in a really long time, at least on AMD.
If it needs compositor level changes, I think we’re probably not too far. And the feature needs to be out so compositors can implement necessary workarounds anyway.
That means frame generation support isn’t too far off right?
if they’ll actually support framegen on proton, i could finally ditch my windows install completely

In all cases it’s probably better than nothing.
