Directx 12 is disabled by default. How to enable it ?

[nordland]

Hi there, I just recently bought the latest Huawei d16 model 2024.

Processor i9 13900H

RAM 16G

Graphic Card: Intel iRIS

I have included SSU Report along with the Intel Driver Report - ( HTML format ) but I had to zip it.

How can I enable Directx 12 ? 

Thank you

Hello Nordland,

Thank you for posting in our communities.

Based on my research, only Arc Graphics has the features of Direct X12 Ultimate.

You may check out these links for reference:

• Dxdiag shows DirectX 12 Ultimate as disabled. How do I enable it?
• DirectX 12 Ultimate on Intel® ArcTM Graphics

• Intel® Iris® Xe Dedicated Graphics Card Specifications
• DirectX 12 on Intel Graphics

To summarise, DirectX 12 and DirectX 12 Ultimate are different from each other. DirectX 12 is for Intel graphics such as Intel Iris, while DirectX 12 Ultimate is for Arc discrete graphics.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
