 ==== 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! 
-  * On a simple demo with a weak CPU (Athlon TK-55 X2) **CPU usage dropped from 20% to 10%**! +==== Faster than Windows? ==== 
-  * Need a benchmark? [[http://www.linuxsystems.it/2014/09/wine-vanilla-vs-csmt-d3dstream-vs-gallium-nine-vs-catalyst/|2014-09-14, with older DRI2]] +^ Game ^ Portal ^ 
-  * For real games, we're getting mostly **double the framerate** //(depends on the game, the driver and the card)//+^ cpu: Intel i5-3210M @ 2.50GHz; gpu: AMD HD 7730M ^^ 
 +| 60 fps | Ubuntu 14.10 - Native | 
 +| 63 fps | Arch Linux* - wine | 
 +| 85 fps | Windows 7 | 
 +| **89** fps | Arch Linux* - wine with **Nine support** | 
 +| * Arch Linux with  llvm SI scheduler + dma copy enabling patch || 
 +{{ :chartgo.png?nolink&200|}} 
 +Generally also works better in CPU limited scenarios.
