Question: Why support only DirectX 12.1?

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to experiment with different graphics cards, and figured out that my AMD RX 580 was not detected.

After some digging I found that minimum required API is DirectX 12.1, while the AMD RX 580 supports only 12.0.

I tried my test with updated minimum required API to FeatureLevel.Level_12_0, and it passed on AMD RX 580.

Are there some features in DirectX 12.1 which are required for this library to function?

You’re correct, DX12 should actually be enough. I’ll make some tests on my end and if everything looks good I’ll make this change in the next update šŸ‘

Thanks @Sergio0694, now my RX 580 is detected, and in my particular case it’s actually faster than GTX 1080.
