2. Vulkan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan

   Vulkan targets high-performance real-time 3D-graphics applications, such as video games and interactive media, and highly parallelized computing.Vulkan is intended to offer higher performance and more efficient CPU and GPU usage compared to the older OpenGL and Direct3D 11 APIs.

3. Mesa (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics)

   Gallium3D is a set of interfaces and a collection of supporting libraries [154] intended to ease the programming of device drivers for 3D graphics chipsets for multiple operating systems, rendering or video acceleration APIs. It is free and open-source graphics device driver software. A feature matrix is being provided at mesamatrix.net.

4. Direct3D - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct3D

   Direct3D contains many commands for 3D computer graphics rendering; however, since version 8, Direct3D has superseded the DirectDraw framework and also taken responsibility for the rendering of 2D graphics. [7] Microsoft strives to continually update Direct3D to support the latest technology available on 3D graphics cards.

   Device Dependent X (DDX), another 2D graphics device driver for X.Org Server; The DRM is kernel-specific. A VESA driver is generally available for any operating system. The VESA driver supports most graphics cards without acceleration and at display resolutions limited to a set programmed in the Video BIOS by the manufacturer. [15]

   In the middle: the FOSS stack, composed out of DRM & KMS driver, libDRM and Mesa 3D.Right side: Proprietary drivers: Kernel BLOB and User-space components. nouveau (/ n uː ˈ v oʊ /) is a free and open-source graphics device driver for Nvidia video cards and the Tegra family of SoCs written by independent software engineers, with minor help from Nvidia employees.

8. Direct Rendering Infrastructure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering...

   There are two graphics hardware drivers: one resides inside of the X display server.There have been several designs of this driver. The current one splits it in two portions: DIX (Device-Independent X) and DDX (Device-Dependent X) Glamor will simplify the X server, and libGL-fglrx-glx [needs update] could use the libDRM of the radeon open-source driver instead of the proprietary binary blob.

9. DirectX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

   Early versions of DirectX included an up-to-date library of all of the DirectX compatible drivers currently available. This practice was stopped however, in favor of the web-based Windows Update driver-update system, which allowed users to download only the drivers relevant to their hardware, rather than the entire library.
