DirectX 11 Renderer problem on Windows 7 - VladimirVSC - 08-24-2020
Good day. After selecting Direct3d 11 renderer in Graphic options the massage appears: "Direct3d 11 renderer requires support for features not supported by your system configuration. This is most likely because you are using Windows 7..." What does it mean??? What are this features? (Nvidia drivers are the latest, visualc++ 15-19 installed) Are there any windows updates required or what?
The graphic card is gtx760.

If you want the missing features, you need to either switch graphics backend or update to Windows 8/10. It simply isn't possible to get them on Windows 7 with Direct3D 11.

What are this features? Are they very important or something I can live without? (I'm really sorry for your time wasting. I'm just curious
)

Most notably, logic ops. Most games will work fine but some games will look very broken.

As Windows 7 has been end-of-life for eight months, it's really not a good idea to be using it anymore if you ever connect the system to the internet. Microsoft no longer release security updates, and if a malware creator looks at the updates released for newer versions of Windows, they can get a pretty good idea of security problems that are never going to be fixed in 7, and create viruses which can't possibly be defended against.
