Clarification on DirectX level on motherboards.

[krakilin12]

So im building a new pc and i am looking for motherboards and i came across a spec that as something to do with DirectX12, what im asking is this:
if i buy a gpu that supports DirectX12 and the motherboard supports it up to DirectX11 will i be able to fully run a DirectX12 game without any issues?
if so, what are the problems i migth have with it?
Im sorry if i am a dummy in this but its the first time im building a pc.
Also sry for my english, it migth have so typos.
Thank you and have a nice day.
😉

It would help if you provide a model or link for a motherboard that "supports it up to DX11."

My reasonable guess is that if you put a DX12 video card into a "DX11" motherboard you will get DX12. DX11 probably describes the ability of the built-in graphics of the motherboard, and you will be bypassing this.

Mother boards do not have DirectX versions. GPUs do

im not saying a direct x version like the gpus have.
its about supporting directx level

The Directx level comes from the graphics hardware. This may be a separate graphics card, or the integrated graphics on the processor that is available through the motherboard connectors. While the motherboard doesn't affect a DX level directly, it will support a certain family processors and that will lock in a DX level for on-board graphics. The on-board graphics is on the processor.

Any clearer?

The answer to your main question is that with that motherboard and a DX12 capable graphics card you will have full support for DX12.
