What is DX11 and DX12

DX11 and DX12 are versions of DirectX software. In a nutshell, we can say that it is responsible for the smooth rendering of graphics and video (although it is not limited to this). It is thanks to this software that you can see beautiful graphic effects (including Raytracing) on your monitors every day. It is therefore very important.
