Please check your graphic card’s specification on the vendor’s website.

Update the hardware driver

Please check your graphic card’s driver version in the Windows Device Manager and compare to the latest version on the vendor’s website to make sure the latest version of the driver is already installed on your system.

Check DirectX version

Use “Windows logo key + R” to open the run dialog box and enter “dxdiag” to open DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
