GFX / Video (OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, etc) support

In order to run the video (graphics) modules and benchmarks, your system must meet the hardware and software requirements:

  • For ALL operating systems - you need the latest DirectX. Download DirectX End-User Runtimes or the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer version.

    Trust us on this, it needs the run-time DirectX updates, it does not work with "just" the built-in drivers.

  • For Vulkan your video card's drivers must include support for it. Modern AMD/ATI, nVidia cards come with drivers that support it.
  • For OpenGL your video card's drivers must include support for it. Modern AMD/ATI, nVidia cards or Intel integrated graphics come with drivers that support it.
  • For DirectX 12, your video card/integrated graphics must be DirectX 12+ compliant, more specifically support Shader Model 5.1+ or later under Windows 10 land later.
  • For DirectX 11.x, your video card/integrated graphics must be DirectX 11+ compliant, more specifically support Shader Model 5 or later under Windows 7 and later.
  • For DirectX 10.x, your video card/integrated graphics must be DirectX 10+ compliant, more specifically support Shader Model 4.0/4.1 and later under Windows Vista and later.
