    I’m glad they found a way, but at the same time - what the hell? Why is it OK for game devs of this magnitude to have a hardcoded hardware list? Look for feature support, not a string that is easy to manipulate outside your control!

      IIRC, with an Nvidia card DXVK will spoof an AMD card in a lot of games because otherwise the game will try to interact with the Windows Nvidia drivers which aren’t there.

        You remember correctly. From the DXVK conf file:

        # Report Nvidia GPUs as AMD GPUs by default. This is enabled by default
        # to work around issues with NVAPI, but may cause issues in some games.
        #
        # Supported values: True, False
        
        # dxgi.nvapiHack = True
