We currently have in Wine section:
- Ensure that Wine uses the native version of
nvapi/nvapi64, e.g. withWINEDLLOVERRIDES=nvapi,nvapi64=n.
I think this would only be needed when Wine itself is shipping nvapi.dll that's marked as builtin and does not have "prefer native" flag. This applies only to Wine Staging versions older than 7.22 (because anything newer has Staging nvapi patchset disabled) so we might want to specify that nowadays this is generally not needed.
Otherwise, LGTM.

| ### Non-NVIDIA GPUs | |||
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Perhaps we could refactor this section to begin with ### Using DXVK-NVAPI outside/without NVIDIA proprietary driver and then add a subsection that contains additional info about non-NVIDIA GPUs. This way we can mention what would be needed to use DXVK-NVAPI with NVK (allow other drivers + optionally driver version) and then how to spoof NV with other vendors on top of that.

| The following environment variables tweak DXVK-NVAPI's runtime behavior: | ||
|
|
||
| - `DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION` lets you override the reported driver version. Valid values are numbers between 100 and 99999. Use e.g. `DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION=47141` to report driver version `471.41`. | ||
| - `DXVK_NVAPI_ALLOW_OTHER_DRIVERS`, when set to `1`, lets you use DXVK-NVAPI without running an NVIDIA card on NVIDIA's proprietary driver. Useful for using D3D11 extensions on a non-NVIDIA GPU. | ||

Maybe mention that we will pretend all foreign devices to be Pascal GPUs (to avoid issues with DLSS) and changing that is (currently) not supported?

Thanks for the useful additions @Saancreed , I've tried to incorporated everything, please let me now if it still makes sense. |
It's long overdue to update the README usage guide.
While at it, also some smaller CI changes...
