DirectX 12 or Vulkan are modern graphics APIs for rendering applications.
The game you're using will work with the APIs it was built for. Your computer supports many graphics standards, such as DirectX 12, Vulkan, and older versions. It's common for games to let you pick between two options—usually DirectX 11 or DirectX 12. Most titles today offer this choice. For example, Doom lets you select between DX11 and Vulkan, but the performance can differ based on your graphics card. Battlefield 1’s DX12 setup seems to underperform for some users. Vulkan in Doom works well or poorly depending on your hardware. To decide what's best, look at benchmarks, ask others, or test it yourself.
