2. OpenGL - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL

   OpenGL (Open Graphics Library[4]) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics. The API is typically used to interact with a graphics processing unit (GPU), to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering.

3. Feature levels in Direct3D - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_levels_in_Direct3D

   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 ...

4. Direct3D - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct3D

   Direct3D is a graphics application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows. Part of DirectX, Direct3D is used to render three-dimensional graphics in applications where performance is important, such as games. Direct3D uses hardware acceleration if it is available on the graphics card, allowing for hardware acceleration of the entire ...

5. OpenGL Shading Language - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_Shading_Language

   OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) is a high-level shading language with a syntax based on the C programming language. It was created by the OpenGL ARB (OpenGL Architecture Review Board) to give developers more direct control of the graphics pipeline without having to use ARB assembly language or hardware-specific languages.

6. 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. It does so by providing a considerably lower-level API for the ...

7. OpenGL ES - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES

   Website. www.khronos.org /opengles. OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES or GLES) is a subset [2] of the OpenGL computer graphics rendering application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics such as those used by video games, typically hardware-accelerated using a graphics processing unit (GPU).

8. Direct2D - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct2D

   Direct2D is a native code API based on C++ that can be called by managed code and uses a "lightweight COM " approach [5] just like Direct3D, with minimal amount of abstraction. However, unlike WPF and similarly to GDI/GDI+, Direct2D is an "immediate mode" rendering API with simple BeginDraw/Draw/EndDraw calls; Direct2D has no concept of a ...

9. Windows Display Driver Model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model

   Windows Display Driver Model. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM, [1] initially LDDM as Longhorn Display Driver Model and then WVDDM in times of Windows Vista) is the graphic driver architecture for video card drivers running Microsoft Windows versions beginning with Windows Vista. [2]
