Install D8VK to Lutris prefix, how?
You can find more information about D8VK and its installation here: [D8VK GitHub Repository](https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk)

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

Early 2000s rally games were so good
Ps. d8vk came out today. Helps with some of these old DX8 games.

Playing few older games (70-90% same engine) over Wine -> DXVK, Gallium Nine, Wayland vs. OpenGL, X11, but no G3D9 (DXVK neither work)
[!->] Native Direct3D 9 will be unavailable. For more information visit https://github.com/iXit/wine-nine-standalone [!->] err:d3d9nine:d3dadapter9_new Your display driver doesn't support native D3D9 adapters

d8vk v1.0
It's still getting updates as of last month, so I'd say it is supported just not as frequently used as DXVK these days.

What are things you wish you knew about gaming on Linux when you started gaming on Linux?
If you happen to be using a gallium driver galliumnine can be a more performant alternative to wined3d for dx9 titles. This has been beneficial for my old laptops with Sandybridge and Ivybridge graphics.

How to make Assassin's Creed use opengl?
Looking into it further, I don't know if Gallium Nine would work with your Nvidia GPU, but it sounds like your CPU has integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics, which sound like they'll work with Gallium Nine Standalone. https://github.com/iXit/wine-nine-standalone

Some games not launching due to invalid file descriptor
now for step two, for whatever reason winetricks mirrors are all down so i had to manually download latest gallium-nine, rename it to gallium-nine-standalone-.tar.gz and paste it on ~/.cache/winetricks/galliumnine/, very unnecessary but easier to use tbh.

Super low frame rates playing portal
One thing you could try is playing the Windows version with galliumnine (basically a native d3d9 implementation for gallium drivers). There's actually a way to get galliumnine working in standalone wine prefixes now rather than having to compile patched versions of wine. After you install both 32 bit and 64 bit libd3dadapter9-mesa libraries install this to the wine prefix. Unfortunately I don't have any terascale era hardware to try this with right now, but I can confirm it works pretty well with sandybridge graphics using crocus when I want to play WoW private servers on my laptop.
- Is both radeon and amdgpu supported on an AMD Radeon HD 8490?
- Windows has its pros against SteamOS, on Steam Deck. Sorry, but it's true.
- Linux Gaming brought back my 10 year old gaming Laptop, and it's awesome.

Bottles - Run Windows software and games on Linux
d3d8to9 - A D3D8 pseudo-driver which converts API calls and bytecode shaders to equivalent D3D9 ones.
wine-discord-ipc-bridge - Enable games running under wine to use Discord Rich Presence
dxvk-native - D3D9/11 but it runs natively on Linux!
wine-wayland - Wine-wayland allows playing DX9/DX11 and Vulkan games using pure wayland and Wine/DXVK.
renderdoc - RenderDoc is a stand-alone graphics debugging tool.
Proton - Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components
dxvk - Vulkan-based implementation of D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11 for Linux / Wine
protontricks - A simple wrapper that does winetricks things for Proton enabled games, requires Winetricks.
ToGL - Direct3D to OpenGL abstraction layer
gloriousctl - A utility to adjust the settings of Model O/D mice on Linux/BSD
