D3D9on12 is an open-source mapping layer that helps make DX9 compatible with Intel Arc GPUs.

The native DirectX 9 implementation is designed to work with specific games, such as Guild Wars 2 and Stellaris.

For other DX9 titles, the Arc GPU will use emulation.

As usual with all things'computer', your mileage may vary...
Yep. Every time I try and run KCE on my new XPS 8960 that I got last year, it CTDs with faults on kernel.dll and igd9trinity32.dll.

That latter dll is part of the GPU drivers for my card. It's a Dell OEM card rather than a retail card, so I'm reluctant to move up from the Dell 32.0.101.6129, A00 drivers to the generic 32.0.101.6647 drivers that Intel just released.

Other than SH3 KCE, the card has been a solid performer, but is like to move up to an Nvidia card. But good luck trying to buy a dell OEM card by itself and installing a retail card means turning off secureboot...
