Direct3D 8 to Vulkan translator D8VK 'production-ready' 1.0 is out now
the release has a tabular comparison: https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk/releases/tag/d8vk-v1.0
If you manually installed a 3rd party d3d8 -> d3d9 translation layer, that would indeed be rendered using DXVK since DXVK implements d3d9. See the table at the bottom of the 1.0 release: https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk/releases/tag/d8vk-v1.0

Blood Omen 2 problematic compatibillity
So Blood Omen 2 runs fine when i use the d3d8.dll from, this link https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases and fixes my menu issues/freezing on Windows 10. But i also wanted to try the Conceptual edition mod which comes with its version of the Revamped d3d8.dll which upon launch of the game always crashes it. Any suggestions, I can play Vanilla fine now but i really wanted to try the mod . There is a substantial size difference between the two dll files if that helps. I wondered if i can merge them ?

What games work with this?
Occasionally, you can get directx8 games to work using d3d8to9, and rarely a game uses shader model 2/3 but can still run. Those sorts of games are definitely exceptions, though.

RTX Remix?
I have been working on RTX Remix integration in Freelancer for a bit, the problem is that you need to use a wrapper such as https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases to convert all calls to DirectX9.

Mafia 1 can't use GPU
I found a fix! Download this https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases/tag/v1.11.0 and paste the file in the game directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia\Mafia). Game will run on dedicated GPU even if the game settings still show the integrated graphics.
- Are there any tutorials on how to use the Portal RTX files for other games?
