Nivalis Nights DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 Requirements
Which DirectX version is needed for minimum and recommended PC setups.
Minimum API
Players targeting the minimum tier need a compatible dedicated GPU with at least 6 GB VRAM alongside DirectX 11 and 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
Recommended API
DirectX 12 belongs to the recommended tier, together with 8 GB dedicated VRAM, an RTX 2070-or-newer example and SSD storage.
Do not infer performance
The store page does not describe feature-level requirements or the performance difference between the two render paths. Those questions need release-build testing.
