      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

      nteract with the Windows Nvidia drivers which aren’t there

      Funny story. I was trying to get RayTracing working under Wine for a few days and finally found the solution (needed to download the nvlibs zip from GitHub and run the installer).

      Couple weeks later I went back into Wine and it was broken. After another 3 days of struggling, I decided to redownload nvlibs and run the installer, when I noticed it only symlinks the needed libraries into WINEPREFIX. Me, being the resource miser I am, had removed the folder from ~/Downloads when I thought I was done with it …
