Before Direct3D 10, new versions of the API introduced support for new hardware capabilities, however these capabilities were optional and had to be queried with "capability bits" or "caps". Direct3D 10.1 was the first to use a concept of "feature levels" [1] [3] [6] to support both Direct3D 10.0 and 10.1 hardware. [3] [7] [8]
In DirectX 7 this was typically done using the DirectDraw API, which is deprecated. The programmer typically needs only to call the ID3DXSprite object's Begin() method to set up the render state and world transform for 2D drawing, call the Draw() method to add textures to the list to be drawn and finally call the End() method to draw the images ...
Direct3D 12 version 2004 – Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004) brings support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, Mesh & Amplification Shaders, [137] Sampler Feedback, [138] as well DirectX Raytracing Tier 1.1 [139] and memory allocation improvements.
DirectX 12 is supported on all Fermi and later Nvidia GPUs, on AMD's GCN-based chips and on Intel's Haswell and later processors' graphics units. [ 60 ] At SIGGRAPH 2014, Intel released a demo showing a computer generated asteroid field , in which DirectX 12 was claimed to be 50–70% more efficient than DirectX 11 in rendering speed and CPU ...
DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI) [1] is a user-mode component of Microsoft Windows (for Windows Vista and above) which provides a mapping between particular graphics APIs such as Direct3D 10.0 and above (known in DXGI parlance as producers) and the graphics kernel, which in turn interfaces with the user-mode Windows Display Driver Model driver.
Nvidia Fermi and Kepler GPUs in the GeForce 600 series support the Direct3D 11.0 specification. Nvidia originally stated that the Kepler architecture has full DirectX 11.1 support, which includes the Direct3D 11.1 path. [13] The following "Modern UI" Direct3D 11.1 features, however, are not supported: [14] [15]
In Windows 11, WARP was updated to support feature level 12_2 (DirectX 12 Ultimate) with variable rate shading, sampler feedback, mesh shaders, and DirectX Raytracing. Microsoft releases recent versions of d3d10warp.dll as a downloadable NuGet package, [ 6 ] which can be side-loaded by applications and can work with the redistributable Direct3D ...
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 graphics card is the first in the Nvidia GeForce 500 series to use a fully ... All products support DirectX 12.0, OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 1.1
