Part of the reason that versions 10 and above are not available for Windows XP is due to an update in the more recent Operating Systems that use the new 'Windows Display Driver Model'. DirectX 11 was aimed at Windows 7 users, but a download for DirectX 11 running on Windows Vista is also available. However, from version 10 onwards, the latest update for DirectX is available only for specific operating systems and under very controlled circumstances.ĭirectX 10 was only available for Vista and not XP. Up until version 9.0c, the latest version of DirectX was generally available as a separate download from Microsoft. Each version of DirectX offers newer features and better rendering – in other words, prettier pictures that are more detailed and realistic (assuming your PC has the hardware to handle the heavier load).
However, a game written specifically for DirectX 10 will generally not run on DirectX 9 or earlier. So, if a game was written for DirectX 9, it should run if you have DirectX 10 or DirectX 11 installed on your PC. It allows developers to standardise certain video display and audio files – this makes them easier to develop and run on different types of PCs (it is also used on consoles such as the Xbox).ĭirectX is supposed to be backward compatible. Its price at launch was 499 US Dollars.DirectX has many uses in Windows. The card's dimensions are 229 mm x 113 mm x 35 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. GeForce RTX 2070 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 2.0, 2x DisplayPort 1.4a, 1x USB Type-C. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1410 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1620 MHz, memory is running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective).īeing a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 draws power from 1x 8-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 175 W maximum. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR6 memory with the GeForce RTX 2070, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The card also has 36 raytracing acceleration cores. Also included are 288 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. It features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The TU106 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 445 mm² and 10,800 million transistors. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games.
This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 2070. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU106 graphics processor, in its TU106-400A-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. The GeForce RTX 2070 is a high-end graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on October 17th, 2018.
