I keep hearing people talk about DirectX on Skyrim or Battlefield 3 forums. What is DirectX? Is it something I have to download?What is DirectX and how does it relate to PC games?
Your computer probably already has DirectX but if you don't know what it is then it most likely needs to be updated.
DirectX allows your games to directly access the hardware instead of using software to interface. This cuts out the middleman and allows your games to run faster and more powerfully. Older games allowed you to switch between "software" or "hardware" rendering. Software rendering was always slower. Hardware rendering uses DirectX.
