RadeonSI Gallium3D-Nine Can Beat AMD Catalyst With Some Wine Tests
The out-of-tree Direct3D 9.0 state tracker for Mesa's Gallium3D continues to show much potential for allowing Wine-based games to better perform on Linux with the open-source Gallium3D drivers.
There's a chance of this Direct3D 9 support being added to Mesa but Wine developers still appear uninterested in supporting this state tracker since it only covers Linux users, which itself is a subset of all Wine users with the program working on other programs too, and for the Linux support is bound just to those using the open-source Radeon and Nouveau Gallium3D drivers. For those going through the process of setting up "Gallium3D-Nine" and patching Wine, the D3D9 performance improvements tend to be dramatic over Wine's Direct3D-to-OpenGL translation layer.
