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

  18      One important difference not mentioned yet: Gallium is working.
  19      VK9 is still in development. Another is that gallium is for open
  20      source drivera only. vK9 a more generic translation layer
  21      similar to dxvk. Zink is a new project to do gallium over
  22      vulkan, would give similar solution as VK9. But even earlier in
  23      dev you could say.

  26         Another is that gallium is for open source drivera only
  27         Not even, only gallium drivers, so not the current Intel one
  28         because it's a classic Mesa one.

  32      Gallium nine is a Gallium state tracker that takes D3D9 in.

  35      Gallium Nine, from what I understand, cuts out the middleman.
  36      It's implementing DX9 in the driver the same way GL or Vulkan
  37      would be, without translating the DX9 calls to another
  38      intermediate API before letting the driver do its thing with
  39      them.

  42         Well technically it does translate D3D9 to another
  43         intermediate API: the Gallium API, but so does the OGL state
  44         tracker.

  48      Gallium Nine provides native Direct3D 9 rendering, VK9
  49      translates Direct3D 9 calls into Vulkan.

  52      iirc gallium would be better since its a linux native dx9
  53      implementation if i understand. but nvidia wont use it :(
