What are the graphics cards that support dx12? Currently supports DX12 graphics list

DIRECTX12 is a major upgrade to the WIN10 system, but its hardware needs have been upgraded, and not all graphics cards can support the latest DX12. So, what are the graphics cards supported by dx12? This article computer Pepsi Small series for you to summarize the NVIDIA, AMD, Intel graphics support DX12 model list.

Although a number of graphics card models are currently claiming support for DX12, the support DX12 is also divided into three versions, which are compatible support, basic support, and full support, first of all to understand several relevant technical terms.

　　Feature levels (functional level)

　　The main role of the feature level is to put the original different levels of DX hardware under the same individual system, and then to differentiate the effects of this indicator, can greatly facilitate programming development, the larger the number behind it to show the support of the more special effects.

DX12, for example, Feature level 12_1 on behalf of all DX12 effects, Feature level 12_0 is part of the special effects.

At the same time, DX12 Feature level 11_1 and 11_0 indicate that they correspond to fewer special effects, but are also compatible with DX12, and can enjoy DX12 low-level acceleration.

These four categories can be developed under the framework of DX12, unified management, enjoy the same acceleration support, the only difference is the amount of special effects.

Now, the NVIDIA, AMD graphics card DX12 Support situation is basically clear, the Intel is not yet confirmed, should only be compatible with DX12.

Although this is said to be Windows 10, but in fact, Windows 7/8.1 can be upgraded free of charge, so the old system does not have to worry, and the overall hardware requirements of Windows 10 basically remain the same, not too thirsty.

　　"DX12 Feature level 12_1"

Currently, the only video card that can fully support this level under Windows 10 is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900 series, the second-generation Maxwell Architecture , which includes Titan X on the desktop, 980 Ti, 980, 970, 960, and Notebook 980M, 970M, 965M, a total of eight.

AMD Fiji Core should also support, but have to wait after release and then final confirmation.

　　"DX12 Feature level 12_0"

This level is AMD graphics card, desktop independence includes Radeon HD 7790, R7 260/x, R9 285, R9 290/x, R9 295x2, total six.

APU has no clear statement, but Kaveri A-7000, Godavari a-7000/8000, Mullins a/e-6000, Beema a/e-6000 series should be at this level.

Nvidia has no such level.

　　"DX12 Feature level 11_1"

This is much, AMD covers 7790 Radeon HD 7700/7800/7900 series All models, R9 270/x, R9 280X. Nvidia is the GeForce 400-700 of the four series (GT 410, such as entry-level vests do not count).

Simply put, the AMD GCN architecture, nvidia Fermi architecture and above graphics cards are compatible with DX12, but the functional level is different.

The Feature level function is to classify the original DirectX hardware under the same individual system, and then differentiate the special effects by this index. Specifically, the DX12 Feature level is divided into two levels: 12_0 supports the DX12 effects of the base, and 12_1 supports all DX12 features.

It is to be recalled that Feature level 11_0 and 11_1 two levels of video cards can still be compatible with DX12 and enjoy the acceleration at the bottom of some DX12. Specifically, the second generation of Maxwell's architecture supports functional levels for 12_1,gcn1.1/gcn1.2 support at the 12_0 level, as follows.

Note: DX12 requires a WDDM 2.0 drive model, and the Fermi architecture currently supports only the WDDM 1.3 (corresponding to the Win8.1 system version), and in order to ensure compatibility, WDDM 2.0/1.3 can only choose one of the same drivers and cannot coexist.

　　Intel Core Graphics Support DX12 Overview:

Intel fourth Daicouri 22nm Haswell processor, fifth Daicouri 14nm Broadwell full range of core video cards support DX12, including the top high-end i7, midrange i5/i3, and low-end Celeron IV, the five generations and the latest six-generation processor full range of support DirectX 12, some of the Celeron processor is not supported, mainly some other GPU exclusive features not supported, OpenGL 4.3, but also support DirectX 11.3.

The Broadwell family can also support the OpenCL 2.0,haswell family, which supports only OpenCL 1.2. In addition to the partial Pentium, Celeron outside all support Quick Sync Video transcoding technology, Widi Wireless display technology. The following table is specified:
