Well, I have old graphics card but it's support DirectX 11 (ASUS with NVIDIA GeForce 210 chipset).
Every DirectX 10/11 game installed just show me a error saying "DirectX feature level 11.0 required to play the game" and so on, i checked dxdiag and as usual DX12 is installed by default in Win10 and by checking the other tab i see Feature Levels from 9_1 to 10_1 all are available. Direct3D DDI is 11.1 and WDDM 1.2
The only way i newly found to get those games to work is to go to DirectX Control Panel and add the game executable to the list and set Feature level limit as required plus checking Force WARP.
But the problem is that checking Force WARP option hugely limit in-game FPS, for example my graphics card can run Game of Thrones Winter Is Coming at 30FPS but it's stuck at 6FPS if i do so wich it's the only way that i can get it to work.
I also have GTA5 installed (steam version) and it's the only game that wasn't have any problems with DirectX (running on 10.1), i think maybe because get installed with it's own DirectX redist package.
What the hell is wrong? i have latest Nvidia driver version (342.01 for my graphics card) and all MSVC packages installed so don't tell me you need such stuff to update/install, This problem was and still very annoying to me.
Please HELP!

Hi SaRiNoS,
I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this.
The problem you have is that the NVIDIA GeForce 210 does not support DirectX 11, it is only rated up to DirectX 10.1 and so, you will not be able to play DirectX 11 games successfully. You seem to be using some sort of workaround, but I have never seen that work successfully.
