Everything about DirectX Graphics Infrastructure
User-mode component of Microsoft Windows
DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (DXGI) is a user-mode component of Microsoft Windows which provides a mapping between particular graphics APIs such as Direct3D 10.0 and above and the graphics kernel, which in turn interfaces with the user-mode Windows Display Driver Model driver. DXGI provides objects for tasks such as enumerating graphics adapters and monitors, enumerating display modes, choosing buffer formats, sharing resources between processes, and presenting rendered frames to a window or monitor for display.
