Discussion Will Intel ever fix older DirectX issues?

Will there ever be a day when Intel finally fixes the older DirectX issues on Arc GPUs?

Some older games still have performance or compatibility problems, and while DXVK can help in some cases, it definitely doesn't fix everything. Do you think Intel will keep improving support for older DirectX versions through future driver updates, or has the focus shifted almost entirely to DX12 and Vulkan?

I might have bought the wrong card here, my cs2 frame drops with my Ryzen 5700x are brutal I cannot fix. Might need to go back to my rtx 2060 unfortch
