d912pxy VS GW2-SCT

Also idk if it's still relevant but I had a massive fps improvement in GW2 by using a proxy dll dx12 proxy

Here you go

But you can also use the DX12 Converter (https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy)

If none of that is enough try out the DX12 addon.

Better d912pxy integration.

There was a Translation-layer plugin, for years, called d912pxy that massively improved framerates and framerate-stability, maintained by a single person ... I never had an issue with it over three different systems. The Author said hhe'd probably no longer support the project after the DX11 update.

I belive this works better than DXVK for GW2.

As a stopgap solution you could look into utilizing d912pxy. It's a playermade DirectX 9 -> 12 wrapper, and while it's not a magical fix to everything, for me it increased FPS in intense situations from sub-20 to ~35-40, which is playable enough.

Worst case scenario we'll just continue using a translation layer like we already do today.

Try this pre-release of SCT instead if you aren't already: https://github.com/Artenuvielle/GW2-SCT/releases/tag/2.0-RC3 The current stable version was just crashing my game.

next up injector plugins. the two most common ones are probably d912pxy, which translates dx9 calls to dx12 and can improve your performance, and arcdps, which as the name suggests is primarily a DPS meter, but also comes with its own addon API for stuff like scrolling combat text, killproof.me, or BuildPad.
