Direct3D

Summary

What is difference between classic wine and wine enhanced with Nine support? The answer is simple - performance. When we play most DirectX 9 games, we want the highest performance possible. Sadly, wine loses a lot of Direct3D9's speed through the inefficent translation of HLSL and D3D9 calls to OpenGL.
