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]
Dolphin is a free and open-source video game console emulator of GameCube and Wii [27] that runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S. [9] [10] It had its inaugural release in 2003 as freeware for Windows. Dolphin was the first GameCube emulator that could successfully run commercial games.
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 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 ...
Vulkan is intended to offer higher performance and more efficient CPU and GPU usage compared to the older OpenGL and Direct3D 11 APIs. It does so by providing a considerably lower-level API for the application than the older APIs, that more closely resembles how modern GPUs work. Vulkan is comparable to Apple's Metal API and Microsoft's ...
DXVK was first developed by Philip Rebohle to support Direct3D 11 games only [13] as a result of poor compatibility and low performance of Wine's Direct3D 11 to OpenGL translation layer. In 2018, the developer was sponsored by Valve to work on the project full-time in order to advance compatibility of the Linux version of Steam with Windows games.
Optionally, an application using a Direct3D 10/11/12 interface and Direct3D 10/11/12 hardware may also specify a geometry shader. This shader takes as its input some vertices of a primitive (triangle/line/point) and uses this data to generate/degenerate (or tessellate ) additional primitives or to change the type of primitives, which are each ...
