I am playing on the TV tonight so the target is 1080 max settings 60 locked/vsync on.
All games were tested with the latest WHQL 4369 and Beta 4382 released today. I played each that worked, for at least 10-15 minutes.
Dirt 4 =passed
Arkham City = Passed
Arkham Origins = Passed
Arkham Knight = Will not launch
Call of Duty 2 = Will not launch
Fallout 4 - Passed
Fallout New Vegas = Freezes and becomes unresponsive within a minute or two of getting in game.
Crysis (GOG version) - crashes to desktop within a minute or two of gameplay. Tried both the DX9 and DX10 launcher.
I tried running the problem games as admin, and with compatibility mode for different windows versions. I have the DXVK files unpacked and ready. But I am not certain how to add the DX9 or 10 files to a game like Crysis. I tried copying them to the main folder but that did nothing.
Perhaps Ryse: Son of Rome, is a good candidate to see what happens with smooth sync? Without vsync or frame cap it's a hot mess. It'll be interesting to see if the tearing is as obtrusive or not. I'll try it later today.
Next up is Mad Max, Shadow of Mordor, Crysis 3, Sniper Elite 4, and Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition.
It would be easy to confirm it in a game that allows you to use trilinear filtering or 1x AF. For DX9 TES: Obvilion should do the job.Okay I see it. What is a good game to force it in, to see if it is working?

EDIT - All fixed but Crysis using DXVK.-Good info and thanks for the candid feedback. Honestly it doesn't sound like it's quite ready for primetime if so many of the games you tested were having launch issues.
It's one thing for some obscure edge case game to not work but AK and FNV would be painful to miss out on.
Curious to see how the rest of that list goes.
Only have that game on Xbox 360, so I tried it with original Mafia. I can't see any difference between 16x being set under 3D overrides and it being set to application choice.It would be easy to confirm it in a game that allows you to use trilinear filtering or 1x AF.

I'm not sure it's correct to say DXVK "fixes" games for Alchemist. What it does is circumventing the lackluster driver support for DX9 and DX11 games by running them as Vulkan games instead. So by doing this you end up testing driver compatibility with Vulkan, not DX9 and DX11.The DXVK fixed CoD2, New Vegas and Arkham Knight. Drop the 32bit d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll into the folder with the game .exe. And the 64bit d3d11 and dxgi files into game exe for Batman and both are working now. Still no luck with Crysis yet.

It would be a different story if Intel were to support DXVK officially, but as is this is not a positive look for Intel drivers.
That's what Intel officially supports, yes. We discussed that earlier in this thread.There are no actual DX9 drivers for ARC. DX9 is handled by Microsoft's D3D9On12 emulation.
If so it's odd that they do it piecemeal. No user should have to resort to having to drop 3rd party files into a game's data to make it run on a still supported graphics card.AFAIK, Intel now does actually use DXVK in a couple of DX9 games by default, but not all.

Even if Crysis Enhanced is way more demanding than Crysis Maximum Immersion, it still only functions properly with the 32 bit executable. So I thought, "Why not try running the 32 bit executable (Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe) with Crysis Maximum Immersion to see if it's actually more stable?". And boy, I was able to play for around 40 mins with no crashes.
So, for everybody that is struggling to keep the game running with graphics mods without crashing, try the 32 bit executable. It might fix the problem.

Is Microsoft's D3D9On12 emulation still being developed? Back when we discussed it here all that was known is an old code dump on github that hasn't been updated since.DXVK likely doesn't improve every game, so they are going piecemeal.
Yes, using the latest beta. I had AB set to toggle on/off with F1 which the game uses, so I remapped it to an unused key in case that was the problem. It still didn't show up. AB works in the next game tested -Are you using latest version of Afterburner? Latest version did add some support for Arc.

Days Gone - Passed
Not without issues though. I am wondering if using an A/V receiver with passthrough to a TV via HDMI is the fly in the ointment for some of these games. I will have to put it back on the MSI Optix 165Hz via display port and see what happens. I suspect this, because I could not pick native res regardless of what display mode I used i.e. fullscreen, windowed, etc. The closest I could get was 900p. At that res it runs max settings with a stable 60. The frametime graph isn't flat but I don't feel it in game. It is example eleventy billion as to why as much as I respect Gamers Nexus for the work they do. I also think, ironically, their gaming content is garbage. Analysing data logs to tell me how a game plays, and generating bar charts is inadequate. If anyone needs a prime example of where their methodology fails, LMK.
On another topic: If you ever wonder why Nvidia dominates mindshare just start firing up your old games. The number of games where that girl whispers Nvidia, or you here their jingle, both with the how it's meant to be played animation, is impressive. My son/the zoomers, were practically weaned on those. Talk about a good investment in your company's future. Obviously, leading hardware and software over many product cycles didn't hurt either.
You were right, I didn't have it. I downloaded a couple of days ago when I got the card I thought? Anyways, no change for Crysis, but the clockspeeds and everything are reported correctly now. Tried different hot keys for toggling, and moving where AB displays in riva tuner, no change.Latest one is 4.6.5 and it's stable.
What white on white font? If you aren't using dark theme, I can't help you because you are already beyond help. 👻White on White font, really now?
Couldn't you just use SPOILER tags instead? Then we would know that content was there.
Afterburner wouldn't work, so used the Xbox game bar as the FPS counter. Which led to the only crash, because Spotify popped up and kicked me out. ☠️ That corrupted the save, so had to delete it and load the previous one. Smooth sailing after that.
It is no big deal for OG Crysis, the game bar panel shows enough hardware info for an old game like that.Afterburner works with the iGPU ARC. I had to change some setting to get it working in every game though, and I can't remember the specific one...
