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 ...
COM is supported via bindings in several languages, such as C, C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, Python [10] [11] and several of the Windows scripting contexts. Component access is via interface methods. This allows for direct calling in-process and via the COM/DCOM sub-system access between processes and computers.
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]
Microsoft DirectCompute is an application programming interface (API) that supports running compute kernels on general-purpose computing on graphics processing units on Microsoft's Windows Vista, Windows 7 and later versions.
[9] [10] [11] The original version of Direct2D was tied to DirectX 11 (in hardware, up to Direct3D 10.1 is used), whereas this version of Direct2D integrates with DirectX 11.1. [9] Windows 8 also added interoperability between XAML and Direct2D along with Direct3D components, which can be all mixed in an application. [12]
With the introduction of DXR in October, four new features were added to DirectX 12: [1] Acceleration structure is a representation of the 3D environment that is efficiently formatted for the GPU. This environment is the plane that is used to create the starting points. The structure allows for modifications to be made and has optimized ray ...
DirectDraw (ddraw.dll) is an API that used to be a part of Microsoft's DirectX API.DirectDraw is used to accelerate rendering of 2D graphics in applications. DirectDraw also allows applications to run fullscreen or embedded in a window such as most other MS Windows applications.
DirectX 11 offered flexibility in how its states could be altered, to the detriment of performance. Simplifying the process and unifying the pipelines (e.g. pixel shader states) lead to a more streamlined process, significantly reducing the overheads and allowing the graphics card to draw more calls for each frame. Once created, the PSO is ...
