Windows 11 offers DirectX 12 Ultimate

Windows 11 unlocks the full potential of your system's hardware, putting some of the latest gaming technology to work for you.

DirectX 12 Ultimate - this new version of DirectX is the newest version of the API and the new gold standard for the next-generation of games. DirectX 12 Ultimate takes games to a whole new level of realism with support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, variable rate shading, and sampler feedback.

So DirectX 12 Ultimate enables fully immersive graphics at high frame rates and offers DirectStorage for faster load times and more detailed game worlds as well as Auto HDR for a wider and more vivid range of colours.

Despite all these great improvements for those who play the latest games, Windows 11 will still support all your favourite PC gaming accessories and peripherals.

However, you will need a really top notch graphic card to benefit from DirectX 12 Ultimate.
