So if you are using latest Windows OS, chances are that you will never need to install DirectX from scratch. All latest Windows OS versions include DirectX by default. Starting with Windows 8 Developer Preview, DirectX SDK has been integrated into Windows SDK. The users had an option to install DirectX if they wanted to. When DirectX first made its appearance, the runtimes were installed only by games which required it. Wondering what’s DirectX is all about? DirectX Software Development Kit (SDK) consists of runtime libraries in redistributable binary form (remember the famous term “DirectX redistributable”?). When Xbox was developed, Microsoft used DirectX as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate the console was based on DirectX technology.

Microsoft later coined DirectX to refer to all these APIs and the terminology has come to be used since then. The names of APIs originally began with Direct – Direct3D, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectDraw and so on.

Or is there a way to make the GPU supported by the Camera Raw 12 without the DirectX12? Or do you have a developed DirectX12 for Windows 7 (like how the World of Warcraft has for example)? Is it possible to make an earlyer Adobe Camera Raw compatible with the Nikon Z50 new fileformat? My question is how can I solve this issue? In breaf: For the Nikon Z50 raw pictures minimum needs Adobe Camera Raw 12.1, the Adobe Camera Raw 12.1 is supported in Windows 7 Sp1, my videocard is also supported in Windows 7 Sp1, but you ask DirectX12 to use my GPU, althought DirectX12 was never created for Windows7. But it ask DirectX 12 to support the GPU.

Which should be good, because it is also supported in Windows 7. One of the reasons, why i choosed this video card, because I have Windows 7 SP1, and I am not willing to upgrade it to windows 10, but this videocard is still supported under Windows 7.īut your oldest Camera Raw which already able to support the Nikon Z 50. And I want to use your Adobe Camera raw, but it is not possible at all.

I have just bought a new Nikon Z 50 camera, and an Asus Geforce GTX 1060 turbo videocard.
