All DirectX errors →DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
DirectX has lost access to the GPU. The game or application crashes.
DirectXD3D-INIT-ERROR
The application cannot initialize Direct3D. The GPU or driver does not support the required version.
DirectXDIRECTX-FEATURE-LEVEL
The application requires DirectX Feature Level 11.0 or higher, which is not supported by the GPU. This can also stem from outdated Driver.
DirectXOPENCL-INIT-FAIL
An application or software cannot initialize the OpenCL interface for GPU computation. Another common trigger is incompatible GPU.
DirectXDXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
The Direct3D device has been removed or the driver has crashed. It's most often caused by unstable GPU overclocking and card overheating.
DirectXDXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
The application sent an invalid command and the GPU became unresponsive. This usually traces back to game error, underclocking/overclocking too aggressively and VRAM memory corruption.
