I'm trying to play a game that keeps telling me DirectX 12 isn't supported, even though my system claims it is. I've heard there's more to it than just the system reporting compatibility—specifically, it has to do with my GPU capabilities? I'm a bit lost on this. Here are my laptop specs:
- Model: Vivobook_ASUSLaptop X1605
- Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900H (20 CPUs), ~2.6GHz
- Memory: 16GB RAM
My game crashed when I tried to run it on the highest graphics settings, so I'm not sure if my laptop truly supports DirectX 12. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Running dxdiag is a good start, and yeah, your laptop specs suggest it should support DirectX 12, but it really comes down to the GPU. If it’s just integrated graphics, you might run into performance issues, especially on high settings. Lowering the graphics settings might help you play the game without crashing.
Yeah, your laptop does support DirectX 12, but the issue might be with the graphics settings. It sounds like you don't have a dedicated GPU, which can really limit performance on higher settings. If you want to play games smoothly, I recommend checking if you can upgrade your GPU or lowering the graphics settings instead!
You can check if you support DirectX 12 by hitting `Windows Key` + `R`, typing `dxdiag`, and hitting enter. The first screen will show your installed DirectX version. If you go to the "Display" tab, you should see the feature levels supported by your GPU. Look for something like "12_0" to confirm DirectX 12 support. If you only see one display tab, it likely means you only have Intel integrated graphics, which could hold you back.
