Windows 8.1 supports two versions of display drivers: Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.2 and WDDM 1.1. WDDM 1.2 is the latest version of the driver model that was introduced with Windows 8 and offers several enhancements and optimizations for the display infrastructure. WDDM 1.2 drivers require a higher feature score than earlier WDDM drivers and support Microsoft Direct3D 11.1, GDI hardware acceleration, DirectX Video Acceleration (VA) High-Definition (DXVA-HD), and many other features[^2^].
WDDM 1.1 is the previous version of the driver model that was introduced with Windows 7 and supports Microsoft Direct3D 11, GDI hardware acceleration, Connecting and Configuring Displays, DXVA-HD, and many other features[^2^].
