DXVK is an open-source translation layer which converts Direct3D 8/9/10/11 calls to Vulkan.[1][2][3][4] It is used by Proton/Steam[5] for Linux, by Intel Windows drivers,[6][7][8] VirtualBox 7.0,[9] and it can be used to run Direct3D-based games under Windows using Vulkan. DXVK has been confirmed to support over 80% of Direct3D Windows games "near flawlessly".[10][11][12]
