The first level is basic.В It is not interesting to the user as it is a repetition of the usual standard entry points of the previous version, 11th.В The list of video cards that support it starts with the Fermi generation (and this is the distant 2010) and ends with the most modern Turing chips. It should be noted right away that this package has three support levels: LetвЂ™s consider the issues of hardware support for API DX12 libraries in modern NVidia video cards. Perhaps it would even be more correct to say that AMD specialists were engaged in the development of the new API, and Microsoft simply developed these ideas and made a set of these libraries a standard, but these little things are not important to the end-user.ДЇor the user, another question is much more important вЂ“ which video cards support DirectX 12 and whether his video card is included in this list. However, it should be said that the hardware market was not just ready for such a turn of events, it was waiting for the official release of the DirectX12 package since graphics cards compatible with the first level of support (DirectX 12_0) appeared back in 2013 (Radeon HD 7730 series), about half a year before the official announcement of the new API. This system was (and still is) the only operating system that supports all the functions of this API.

Application programming interface DirectX 12 was created by Microsoft as вЂњour answerвЂќ to competitorsвЂ™ similar low-level interfaces Mantle and OpenGL.В The first appearance of the new API took place on July 29, 2015, in Windows 10.
