DirectX 11 is a package of software components that ensures the normal launch of games and clear playback of video files on a personal computer. If you use more professional terms, DirectX 11 combines a set of API functions that prevent errors at the time of launch of computer games, as well as eliminate problems in the process of playing video files.
Real gamers have long known that almost any game disc includes DirectX software. In most cases, the DirectX version of the game is delivered to the user along with the game.
With each new update, DirectX developers strive to find the optimal ratio of power distribution between the video card and the CPU. Installing the application in the PC system provides high performance graphics accelerators, which are responsible for the most realistic filling images on a computer monitor.
