| 10 | So i read an interview that the DXVK dev was inspired by VK9\r | |
| 11 | so i decided to check it out, and then remembered Gallium9.\r | |
| 12 | \r | |
| 13 | I understand VK9 tries to translate the calls to Vulkan but\r | |
| 14 | what does Gallium9 do different from VK9?\r | |
| 15 | \r | |

| 17 | ** ezs1lly\r | |
| 18 | One important difference not mentioned yet: Gallium is working.\r | |
| 19 | VK9 is still in development. Another is that gallium is for open\r | |
| 20 | source drivera only. vK9 a more generic translation layer\r | |
| 21 | similar to dxvk. Zink is a new project to do gallium over\r | |
| 22 | vulkan, would give similar solution as VK9. But even earlier in\r | |
| 23 | dev you could say.\r | |
| 24 | \r | |
| 25 | ** breell\r | |
| 26 | Another is that gallium is for open source drivera only\r | |
| 27 | Not even, only gallium drivers, so not the current Intel one\r | |
| 28 | because it's a classic Mesa one.\r | |

| 32 | Gallium nine is a Gallium state tracker that takes D3D9 in.\r | |
| 33 | \r | |
| 34 | ** ComputerMystic\r | |
| 35 | Gallium Nine, from what I understand, cuts out the middleman.\r | |
| 36 | It's implementing DX9 in the driver the same way GL or Vulkan\r | |
| 37 | would be, without translating the DX9 calls to another\r | |
| 38 | intermediate API before letting the driver do its thing with\r | |
| 39 | them.\r | |
| 40 | \r | |
| 41 | ** breell\r | |
| 42 | Well technically it does translate D3D9 to another\r | |
| 43 | intermediate API: the Gallium API, but so does the OGL state\r | |
| 44 | tracker.\r | |
| 45 | \r | |
| 46 | \r | |
| 47 | ** rea987\r | |
| 48 | Gallium Nine provides native Direct3D 9 rendering, VK9\r | |
| 49 | translates Direct3D 9 calls into Vulkan.\r | |
| 50 | \r | |
| 51 | ** meeheecaan\r | |
| 52 | iirc gallium would be better since its a linux native dx9\r | |
| 53 | implementation if i understand. but nvidia wont use it :(\r | |
