WDDM 1.1 brings a lot of changes, let's first look at WDDM 1.0 relative to XPDM changes, that is, Vista relative to XP changes Vista uses the WDDM version of 1.0, while Windows 7 uses an improved version of WDDM 1.1.

Since Vista, Windows has adopted a new driver model that is different from the XPDM used by XP: WDDM, which largely determines the graphical characteristics of a system. Windows applications use a variety of APIs and system graphics components such as GDI (Graphics Device Interface, the main graphics interface for 2D-era systems), Direct3D, and OpenGL, which interact with hardware through WDDM(Windows Display Driver Model, also known as Longhorn Display Driver Model). These improvements are briefly described below. Joint display adapters (also known as federated rendering) New Driver Model DirectX 11: Updated Direct3D 11, and related new Direct2D APIДisplay device connectivity and configuration Windows 7's updates to graphics architecture are as follows:

A graphics architecture includes how to use GPUs to accelerate a wide variety of graphics applications (2D, 3D, printing, etc.), how to display to the final display device, and including device detection and control.

While it is common to hear that the big update to Windows 7 is a DirectX 11.0 API, it's not all for the graphics architecture of Windows systems, although DirectX is also important. Graphical interfaces have always been at the heart of Windows systems, and since Windows Vista, Windows has made it a priority to provide a graphical desktop graphical interface, not just because Vista and 7 desktops are a 3D application in themselves, but because Vista and 7 work better with graphics-accelerated hardware.ДЇrom Windows Vista to Windows 7, the combination of the operating system and the GPU is getting closer and closer. By Windows 7, including the operating system itself,ДЄnd users, were ready, so it wasn't hard to see how the response would be better than Vista. Vista offers significant improvements compared to its previous generation of XP, but on the one hand these improvements are so large that users and even the corresponding software vendors (e.g., DirectX 10 applicationД¬an't fully accept them for a while, and on the other hand, Vista's performance is not as good as expected due to incomplete features. Windows 7 has done a lot of refinement work on Windows Vista and added a lot of new features. As you might expect now, Windows 7 is actually an improved version of Windows Vista.
