RetroArch 1.7.1 will be launched with new Direct3D 10/11/12 drivers. Right now, Direct 3D 10 and 12 only work with the RGUI menu driver. However, Direct3D 11 was just updated to support the XMB and MaterialUI menu drivers as well! What you can also see in this video is the ribbon shader effect that we have ported over from OpenGL/Vulkan.

NOTE: Direct3D 11 driver will be useful for software rendered cores. Depending on your video driver and GPU, Direct3D 11 can be a big performance boost compared to the existing D3D9/OpenGL/Vulkan video drivers available.
