Info:
WDDM is a replacement for the previous Windows 2000 and Windows XP XDDM / XPDM display driver model and aims to provide better graphics performance and new graphics functions and stability. Display drivers in Windows Vista and Windows 7 can use either WDDM or XDDM. However, with the removal of XDDM from Windows 8, WDDM became the only option. WDDM provides the functionality to render the desktop and applications using Desktop Window Manager, a compositing window manager that runs Windows Direct3D. New DXGI interfaces that are required for basic device management and creation are also supported. The WDDM specification requires at least one Direct3D 9-capable graphics card, and the display driver must implement the device driver interfaces for the Direct3D 9Ex runtime in order to run older Direct3D applications. Optionally, runtime interfaces for Direct3D 10 and higher can be implemented.
