About DirectX in Windows 10, How To Upgrade It To The Latest Version, DirectX 12?

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, the reason you are seeing different version is because some applications and games require the earlier version of Direct X. However, your computer includes a more recent version of DirectX.
In simple, one application or game require DirectX 11.0 and some other DirectX 11.3 or 12.0

However, if you want to install the latest version of Direct X, you will get it through Windows Update.

Hope this information is helpful.

Regards.

 

Direct X NOT Updating to latest version!

My Current Direct X version is 9eX.

I cannot run the facebook app as it says the following (Screenshot)

The problem is I tried updating my Direct X using the following link- Download DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) from Official Microsoft Download Center

However, after the installation complete when I run "DxDiag" the version still says 9eX.

Also, I have Windows 10-64 bit, so according to this thread- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/179113

My Direct X version should be 11.3, 11.4 or 12.0...then, why is it stuck at 9eX?

Is there a way I can uninstall version 9eX and then, install the latest Direct X???

How do I update to the latest version, plz help!!!!

 

Same here. WTF? GTX 970 here

 

Yeh no idea mate. was looking forward to do some testing and benchmarks. Now no idea wtf is going on or how to get 12 back on, no redist for it or anything. Latest nvidia driver too.. Anyone else?

 

Found out MFAA in nvidia control panel has to be disabled, will revert back to DX 12

 

Which games use DirectX 12 API's, I'm just curious?

 

All games should benefit in performance from DirectX 12 API even though they may not support the features.

 

I just disabled it and it doesn't revert back to 12 - still at 11.3 according to dxdiag.

EDIT: You are right. I accidentally disabled it in a game instead of globally.

MFAA worked fine in the preview and 12.

 

Yeh not sure mate, least that wasnt a hard one, fixed in future.

 

DxDiag shows 11.2 for me, I'm running a GTX 550 Ti... however, in the Nvidia Control Panel it says DirectX 12 for the Runtime version and the Direct3D API version. However, the Direct3D Feature Level says 11.0.

I'm running driver version WHQL 353.62, which was released today.

I didn't have to install any games at the moment... I remember when you could often times skip DX installations for games... or the installer didn't install anything if it detected something newer on your machine.

 

I dont think Fermi (500series cards) support DX12 yet from nvidia. I think its kepler upwards (600 Series).
You can read bout it there will be support soon for them.
