UHD 750 of my i5 11600

Just glad to have got a Rocket Lake processor 😁
D3D8 and DDraw support present too!

Thanks for providing that screenshot! Huh, it would seem that some 11th gen iGPUs has the native driver while others do not.

Maybe it’s related to the specific iGPU they have? 🤔

It's related to the GPU ID so you can just mod the drivers package installer (and get it signed)......

I can confirm that the 11th gen Intel GPU loads the *NATIVE* d3d9 driver.

Log: Bound to D3D9Drv.dll

Using d3d9on12 the driver is another one.

Which tool were used to capture this log btw? I could use a tool that as efficiently and easily told me the adapter driver in use.

Just Unreal, it does (writes) the initialization log since 1998 😁

Ah, just connect a physical monitor to the iGPU if you want to be sure about D3D9/DDraw support. Maybe it's needed.

D3D12 driver is good enough to run dgVoodoo2.
Problems (dedicated compatibility/optimization profiles) are present for D3D9 and D3D11.

😉

How can that be? I get much more FPS in DosBox.

well.. if you confirm it is ok on your side than i guess it's wrong on mine
latest qemu is here
QEMU 7 3dfx Voodoo Glide
just mount hdd image in deamon tools lite and add game

Later today i will test this on my laptop to check. Intel Xe @ i5 1135G7.

It's a Nvidia GT1030 GDDR5 64bit better VGA than an Intel Xe DDR4 128bits?
Newer benchmarks like Fire Strike shows a better result for Intel Xe, but older benchmarks the GT1030 scores better (like Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4 and Street Fighter 4/5).

Fire Strike

VGAs |Nvidia GT1030|Intel Xe SC|Intel Xe DC
Graphics |3340|2739|3921
Physics |4452|11461|11703
Combined |1133|763| 1287

Score 2885|2392|3548

(GT1030 running with a Intel i3 3220 and Intel Xe running with a Intel i5 1135G7)

Resident Evil 5 both DX9 and DX10 the GT1030 scores better... i will try later with Dgvoodoo to see if the performance is enhanced in this game at least.

Up!
Anyone tested *with* the monitor connected?

Tried Resident Evil 5 Demo DX9 with native Intel DX9 vs Dgvoodoo (v2.79.2, default settings) on "Fixed Benchmark"

58,2 FPS Native DX9
52,2 FPS Dgvoodoo2

Question is, if they have an OGL driver then why no native D3D9? OGL, which is bloated, needs a GLSL compiler, etc, is much more complicated than D3D9.

No important OpenGL games to support apart Minecraft :p
It's the game compatibility hell that Intel can't handle (dedicated teams to test 20 years old games). I can see it very well just in BioShock 2 remaster (d3d11).....rendering is fubar 😁

Compatibility for DirectDraw games with my 10yr old Intel iGPU was bad as well, not sure how it is on new iGPUs now (NFS PU native).

Not sure how relevant it is, but apparently nowadays D3D9on12 handles all D3D9 versions before 10, including DirectDraw. Just learned that the other day from the DirectX team on their Discord server.

Okay that's interesting. Can you confirm the Primary Display Device is NVIDIA (just saying because people said Nvidia broke DirectDraw on RTX and newer driver and...)

dxvk (from dx9) to Vulkan was fairly quick and compatible when I tried it also, not as fast as native, but not too bad.
