To add to this - for borderlands 2, which is not an “ideal” title at all speedrunners across the board use dxvk while about half of the rest of players use it because not only does it about double fps, it also stops a memory leak, fixes random crash bugs, and cuts down loading times.

Dxvk is just amazing where it works properly.

A lot of journalists, at least historically, wanted to do this. Unfortunately they’ve been more and more kneecapped over time by news companies either pushing for a bias, or for clicks.
