Re: Support for DirectX and Vulkan graphics card

You can't really directly check directx (other than just playing a relevant game), but vulkan can be determined with vulkaninfo and looking at the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties

If the supported API version is something around 1.1 you "generally" have sufficient support for DX11 and 12 via dxvk and vkd3d respectively. But a lot of things depend on the actual extensions implemented by the driver. For that you might have to check a bit more in depth  as to what the relevant translation layers use and might be missing from your particular implementation.
