In Direct3D 11, the concept of feature levels has been further expanded to run on most downlevel hardware including Direct3D 9 cards with WDDM drivers.. There are seven feature levels provided by D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL structure; levels 9_1, 9_2 and 9_3 (collectively known as Direct3D 10 Level 9) re-encapsulate various features of popular Direct3D 9 cards conforming to Shader Model 2.0, while ...
major mandatory features – (Direct3D 11.0, 12), a few minor features (Direct3D 10.1, 11.1), or; a common set of previously optional features (Direct3D 11.0 "10 level 9"). Each upper level is a strict superset of a lower level, with only a few new or previously optional features that move to the core functionality on an upper level. [67]
On 12 October 2013 (4.0-155), Direct3D 9 support was removed from the project, leaving Direct3D 11 and OpenGL as the two remaining video back-ends. The Dolphin Team explained this, stating that the plug-in was "inherently flawed" and that trying to evade its several flaws "wasted time and slowed development." [53]
In 2019, DXVK received Direct3D 9 support by merging with d9vk. [15] [16] In November 2022, version 2.0 was released, introducing improvements to Direct3D 9 memory management, shader compilation, state cache, as well as, support for Direct3D 11 feature level 12_1. [17] [18] Vulkan 1.3 support is now required. [19]
DirectX 11.X is a superset of DirectX 11.2 running on the Xbox One. [52] It actually includes some features, such as draw bundles, that were later announced as part of DirectX 12. [53] DirectX 11.3 was announced along with DirectX 12 at GDC and released in 2015. It is meant to complement DirectX 12 as a higher-level alternative. [54]
In Windows 10, WARP has been updated to support Direct3D 12 at feature level 12_1; under Direct3D 12, WARP also replaces the Reference rasterizer. 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.
Direct3D has a number of implementations, namely DXVK for Direct3D 8, 9, 10, and 11, and VKD3D-Proton for Direct3D 12 support. Other, older versions, of Direct3D may be enabled with other related software such as Wine. Metal has an in-development third-party implementation named Indium, intended to be used with the Darling compatibility layer.
In computing, D3DX (Direct3D Extension) is a high level API library which is written to supplement Microsoft's Direct3D graphics API. The D3DX library was introduced in Direct3D 7, and subsequently was improved in Direct3D 9. It provides classes for common calculations on vectors, matrices and colors, calculating look-at and projection matrices ...
