In addition to Sunday's release of [1]DXVK 3.0.1 , D7VK 1.12 was separately released as the latest version of this implementation for Direct3D 7 and older atop the Vulkan API.

With the D7VK 1.12 release there has been more optimizations to land. As part of the release announcement, some performance compares of the new D7VK 1.12 was benchmarked against older D7VK releases when particular Direct3D version support was added using the relevant 3DMark benchmark versions. For Direct3D 7 of D7VK 1.0 compared to the new D7VK 1.12, the performance is up by 53%. For Direct3D 6, when comparing D7VK 1.2 that introduced the D3D6 support to now with D7VK 1.12, the performance is up by 6.5%.
