Does my graphics card support the new DirectX 12 in Windows 10/11?


A download for graphics cards for the new DirectX 12 under Windows 10 is not required, just check for Home and Pro!



Info! The query example is also suitable for Windows 10 Home / Pro as well as Windows 8.1 and 7!

1.) ... Checking DirectX support under Windows 10 / 11!
2.) ... What should I watch out for with DirectX 12 support!



1.) Checking DirectX support under Windows 10 / 11!

To check DirectX support under Windows 10, please start the DirectX diagnostic program, which is already known from the old Windows operating systems.

1. The quickest way to start the DirectX diagnostic program is to use the key combination [Windows-Logo+R]

2. and the command  dxdiag  ( ... see Image-1 Arrow-1 ) 

3. then simply click on the Display tab.


Now you can use the Group box Driver the feature levels:  see.

In this case, DirectX 11.0,10.1,10.0,9.3,9.2,9.1 is used by my  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Tisupported, but NVIDIA will publish a DirectX 12 driver for the GTX series, so nothing stands in the way of DirectX 12 under Windows 10.

Under the System tab you will find the currently installed DirectX version, under Windows 10 it is of course DirectX 12. ( ... see Image-2 Arrow-1 )

It is really very useful and advantageous to know whether the DirectX 12 support is guaranteed by the graphics card. Although it is a simple solution, it is still an unknown way of testing for many users.

2.) What should I look out for with DirectX 12 support!



In any case, the latest driver must be downloaded from the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, ATI), but usually most graphics cards that support DirectX 11 will also support DirectX 12. 

If you want to check Windows 10 to see whether DirectX 12 is already supported, you can find out quickly. But as I said, it's also a driver issue.


There are several important points to pay attention to when it comes to DirectX 12 support:

1. Hardware Compatibility:

Check if your hardware supports DirectX 12. This includes both your graphics card and your processor. Not all older hardware components are compatible with DirectX 12.

2. Driver Support:

Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card. These drivers should be specifically optimized for DirectX 12 to ensure the best possible performance and compatibility.

3. Games and Applications:

Check whether the games and applications you use support DirectX 12. Not all games and applications are designed for DirectX 12, and some older titles may still use older versions of DirectX.

4. Performance Improvements:

DirectX 12 potentially offers better performance compared to previous DirectX versions, particularly in terms of multi-core support and overhead reduction. Pay attention to how the performance of your games and applications with DirectX 12 compares to previous versions.

5. Troubleshooting:

Be aware of possible issues or incompatibilities with certain games or applications on DirectX 12. This may include driver issues, crashes, or graphics errors. Keep your drivers updated and check for solutions to known issues if necessary.

6. Future Developments:

DirectX 12 is an advanced graphics API that is continually being developed. Stay tuned for future updates and improvements to DirectX 12, as well as new games and applications that benefit from the features of this API.

By keeping these points in mind, you can ensure you get the most out of your DirectX 12 support and enjoy an optimal gaming experience on your Windows PC.
