However, there are still many games and applications that use DirectX 9, such as <em>Counter Strike: Global Offense<\/em> and <em>Team Fortress 2<\/em>. Intel didn\u2019t build full hardware support for DirectX 9 into its new graphics cards, so its up to Intel\u2019s software drivers to translate the older API calls into modern code.<\/p>\n<p>Intel has now updated its graphics drivers to improve DirectX 9 performance, with the company promising \u201cup to 1.8x times faster\u201d average FPS. The company said in a blog post, \u201cwhile average frame rate increases are awesome, the improvement in overall experience and smoothness is even better. If you look at the 99th percentile FPS, you\u2019ll see that our relative improvement is over 2x in CS:GO and I can tell you from first hand playing experience that gamers will notice the difference im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely.\u201d<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"omUTYlm2Al0\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/omUTYlm2Al0\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Funny enough, Intel\u2019s drivers\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/2022\/12\/intel-using-dxvk-part-of-steam-proton-for-their-windows-arc-gpu-dx-9-drivers\/\">contain code from\u00a0DXVK<\/a>, the Direct3D-to-Vulkan translation layer primarily created for Valve\u2019s Proton compatibility layer.
