DXVK (next release)

Current DXVK development code requires a Vulkan 1.3 capable driver, as well as Wine 7.1 or newer for winevulkan support.

In general, please try to keep your graphics drivers up to date as possible, and use at least the latest stable version available for your operating system and your hardware. The table below lists the minimum required versions to run DXVK, as well as versions that provide additional feature support or performance in the recommended column.

The following Linux drivers are supported:

Driver Required version Recommended version
AMD (RADV) 22.0 22.2
Nvidia 510.47.03 515.49.06 (beta)
Intel (ANV) 22.0 22.2

Note: Nvidia drivers 515.49.10 and 515.49.15 are known to have issues with numerous games.

Note: Nvidia's Kepler architecture (most GTX 600 / 700 series) is no longer supported. Please use DXVK 1.10.3 in combination with these cards.

Required Vulkan extensions

The following extensions are required for correct operation. All drivers listed in the table above support these features.

  • VK_EXT_robustness2: DXVK will not run without this extension. The nullDescriptor and robustBufferAccess2 features are required.
  • VK_EXT_transform_feedback: Required for D3D10 and D3D11 support.

Optional Vulkan extensions

The following extensions are not required, but can lead to a better gameplay experience.

  • VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library: Used to reduce shader compilation stutter.
    • Only used if the driver supports the graphicsPipelineLibraryIndependentInterpolationDecoration feature.
  • VK_EXT_shader_module_identifier: Further improvements when graphics pipeline libraries are supported.

Note: VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library is currently only supported by Nvidia's Vulkan developer beta driver.

Other drivers

While not directly supported, the following drivers may work:

  • AMDVLK: Generally good compatibility, but shader compilation is extremely slow on this driver. RX 400 series or newer GPU required.
  • AMDGPU-PRO: Mediocre compatibility, but performance may be better than on other drivers in specific games on some GPUs. RX 400 series or newer GPU required.

DXVK 1.10.3

Legacy versions of DXVK require a Vulkan 1.1 capable driver.

Driver Required version Recommended version
AMD (RADV) 20.2 22.0
Nvidia 470.82 510.47.03
Intel (ANV) 22.0 22.0
