 ==== Project Information ==== ==== Project Information ====
 +**Why** exist **Gallium Nine** project? Because we want see happy **Linux users which can enjoy games** designed for Windows DX9 at **full resolution and details getting maximum performance, which can  hardware provide!**
  
-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. +**How** we achieve this goal? By **skipping all bottlenecks** on way, not doing expensive rewrite native D3D9 calls into OpenGL (which classic wine does), but **directly feeding your graphic card (GPU) with D3D9 calls** without ugly conversion to OpenGL!
-Sadly, wine loses a lot of Direct3D9's speed through the inefficent translation of HLSL and D3D9 calls to OpenGL. +
  
-**But we can do better!** We can build on top of the **Gallium framework** which is part of the Mesa-3D library. It allows us to expose Direct3D 8 and 9 support! Right now **we only support Direct3D 9**, but in the future, we'd like also extend support to other versions too.+**What can you get** by installing Gallium Nine enabled Wine**?** The answer is simple - **best performance** (feel free to check [[https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=EgIIBQ%253D%253D&q=gallium+nine|youtube]] to watch our happy users gameplays).
  
-==== Real numbers? ====+We build our technology a top of the **Gallium framework** which is part of the Mesa-3D library. It allows us to expose Direct3D 9 support!
