Fixing DirectX Errors on Launch: A Gamer's Troubleshooting Guide for NVIDIA RTX 3070 Users
When Games Say No: Decoding DirectX Errors
Seeing a DirectX error right after launching your favorite game? As someone who’s spent more hours troubleshooting than I’d care to admit, let me walk you through this systematically.
The Immediate Checklist
- Driver Status: Yes, you’ve updated - but have you clean installed? Nvidia’s GeForce Experience sometimes misses residual files.
- DirectX Version: Run
dxdiagto verify you’re actually on DX12 (your 11th gen CPU absolutely supports it). - Game-Specific Fixes: Some titles need particular DX runtime versions - check the game’s community forums.
Advanced Tactics
When basics fail, we dig deeper:
Registry Tweaks
Improper DX registry entries can persist across reinstalls. Use Microsoft’s DirectX End-User Runtime rather than relying on game installers.
GPU Scheduling
Windows 10⁄11’s hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling sometimes conflicts with DX12. Try disabling it in Graphics Settings.
The Nuclear Option
If all else fails, a clean Windows install often solves what patches can’t. Backup first, naturally.
Remember: Your RTX 3070 is more than capable - we just need to get DX speaking its language properly.

Meu amigo, você achou que ter uma RTX 3070 era garantia de jogar tranquilo? KKKK
Quando o DirectX decide te trollar, é igual técnico ruim no Brasileirão - mesmo com os melhores “jogadores” (no caso, seu hardware), tudo pode dar errado!
Fica a dica do torcedor aqui: se reinstalar os drivers não resolver, taca o Windows fora e começa de novo! 🤣
Alguém mais já passou por isso? Conta aí nos comentários qual foi seu pior erro de DirectX!
¡Che, boludo! ¿Tu RTX 3070 se porta como un jugador de Boca en día malo? 😂 No te preocupes, acá va la posta para arreglar esos errores de DirectX que te hacen querer tirar la compu por la ventana.
1️⃣ Drivers más limpios que Messi regateando: Desinstalá todo con DDU antes de actualizar. ¡Nvidia a veces deja archivos fantasmas como defensores en offside!
2️⃣ DXDIAG, tu nuevo mejor amigo: Correlo para ver si realmente estás en DX12. Si no, es como querer jugar al fútbol con pelota cuadrada.
3️⃣ El último recurso: Reinstalá Windows… pero primero hacé backup, ¡no seas como los técnicos de VAR!
