Wetin you need know

Dis na di legacy DX9 June 2010 redist. E no be DirectX 12 or GPU driver.

dxsetup.exe dey install D3DX and other 2010-era libraries. DirectX 12 dey inside Windows already. NVIDIA App dey install di display driver.

Wetin e be?: Legacy DX9 June 2010 redist (D3DX)
DirectX 12?: No. DX12 dey inside Windows already
GPU driver?: No. Use NVIDIA App or AMD Software

Feex tok say

If game want DirectX and you get Windows 11 already, I still dey install dis June 2010 redist for D3DX. I no dey hunt DirectX 12 installer, and I no dey treat dxsetup.exe like GPU driver.

Wetin be DirectX End-User Runtime?

Di DirectX End-User Runtime dey install legacy side-by-side libraries (D3DX9/10/11, XInput 1.3, XAudio 2.7). Microsoft talk say e no dey change di DirectX runtime wey dey inside Windows already. E no be GeForce or Radeon drivers.

If you never use am before

If old game talk say "install DirectX", e usually want dis June 2010 End-User Runtime (D3DX9 and friends), no be DirectX 12 upgrade. Windows get DirectX 12 already. Dis setup no dey change di OS DirectX version and e no be your GPU driver. Collect dxwebsetup from Microsoft Download id=35.

Wetin dem dey use am for?

Old games wey dey call D3DX9

Di dialog dey call DirectX name. Di file wey dey miss na often D3DX9_43.dll. DirectX 12 dey inside Windows already.

June 2010 payload only

dxwebsetup.exe or di offline id=8109 pack. No newer "DX12 end-user" redist dey.

No be GPU driver

NVIDIA App or AMD Software dey install drivers. Dis redist no go fix black screen from bad driver.

Anybody wey search "DirectX 12 download"
Users wey confuse dis one wit Game Ready driver
