These additions along with other improvements will be found as part of Mesa 22.3 being released as stable later this year. Select Options to open tab selections for different setting categories. A follow-up merge added the Agility SDK support to their "Dzn" (Dozen) driver for Vulkan on D3D12. Microsoft engineers added support for using the Agility SDK to their Mesa D3D12 driver. This can be particularly useful for continuous integration (CI) testing/development purposes or those rolling their own Mesa Windows builds and not wanting to be forced to upgrade Windows. ![]() So in the case of Mesa building against the D3D12 Agility SDK, it can opt into making use of newer D3D12 functionality without the Windows upgrade. Rather than always tying new Direct3D features to new Windows versions, the Agility SDK breaks that link with this redistributable SDK build that applications can opt into without requiring users to upgrade their Windows installation for new graphics features. ![]() The DirectX 12 Agility SDK amounts to a re-distributable Direct3D 12 build. For bettering Mesa on Windows, Microsoft has now added support for compiling against the DirectX 12 Agility SDK. DirectX 12 improves the CPU efficiency in frame rate unlocked mode which allows more power to be used for additional graphics performance. OpenGL, OpenCL, Vulkan, and VA-API video acceleration have been the primary targets for Microsoft engineers working on Mesa with the Windows Subsystem for Linux in mind while also posing other possible use-cases where the host may lack native drivers for those APIs. Just click Start -> Settings -> Windows Update -> Check for updates to do it. To download and install DirectX 12 Ultimate latest version, you can still use Windows Update. ![]() ![]() Windows users are increasingly making use of Mesa with Microsoft investing in supporting a number of different open, industry standard APIs and then layering them atop the underlying Direct3D 12 driver for the likes of WSL2 usage. DirectX 12 Ultimate feature will be built in Windows 11.
