    What about OpenGL? What’s that and should I choose it instead of DirectX?

      OpenGL is an older graphics API with a lot of issues I won’t get into here.

      You’re almost guaranteed to be better off using DXVK.

      OpenGL is a bit like Vulkan, but discontinued since… 2014, with a single update since then. It was actually stopped because Vulkan seemed better, and both API’s were maintained by the same organisation.

      In general it’s more likely to work on older devices, but would be less performant than Vulkan.
