[Feature Request]: Make use of newer DirectX #1431

Description

@m1sfumo

Is there an existing issue for the feature?

  • I have searched the existing feature requests

Describe the Feature

Add newer DirectX backend support adjacent to the currently used DirectX 9, preferably DirectX 11.

How Does The Feature Add To The Game?

Currently, somehow, with newer but low-end graphic card, OpenGL seems to be faster than the supposedly native API, DirectX.
Newer version, especially 11, should be able to make it equal if not more performant than OpenGL.

Additional Context

Specifically DirectX 11 because it's widely supported by almost anything, and is more than enough for this type of game, rather than DirectX 12 because of limited hardware support and is a bit overkill.
