Info:


WDDM is a replacement for the previous Windows 2000 and Windows XP XDDM / XPDM display driver model and aims to provide better graphics performance and new graphics functions and stability. Display drivers in Windows Vista and Windows 7 can use either WDDM or XDDM. However, with the removal of XDDM from Windows 8, WDDM became the only option. WDDM provides the functionality to render the desktop and applications using Desktop Window Manager, a compositing window manager that runs Windows Direct3D. New DXGI interfaces that are required for basic device management and creation are also supported. The WDDM specification requires at least one Direct3D 9-capable graphics card, and the display driver must implement the device driver interfaces for the Direct3D 9Ex runtime in order to run older Direct3D applications. Optionally, runtime interfaces for Direct3D 10 and higher can be implemented.

Questions for this:
  1. How do I go about finding out which version of DirectX is installed, is there any system information that I can see or other information such as the model, the graphics chips used and the WDDM driver model?
  2. Wonder where I can determine the type of graphics card and the WDDM driver model in Windows, Windows 10 / 11 already has a diagnostic program for the graphics cards on board in early versions, so I can find out, for example, which graphics card the computer has and which driver version is installed where is the WDDM driver model?
  3. I can determine the name of the built-in graphics card, it appears in the Dxdiag where can I find the data such as the manufacturer, model, the graphics chips used and the WDDM driver model?
