Soo, I recently installed my new Asus Strix Gtx 1070 into my gaming pc and I cannot play some of the games that I have on it. Battlefield 4 will not load because it says that my "Gtx 1070" does not support Directx 10.0 The exact same thing happened when I tried to launch Ark Survival Evolved. Any help is appreciated :)

Solution
Try downloading and running the dx runtime installer.

Idk, it just says that I need DirectX 10.0 to play the game, I have DirectX 12 installed
 
Do you have any games that you know to use dx 10 or better that do work? I similar thing happens to me on occasion. Installing a game that has Direct X seems to fix it. So if you have a game that works, use steam to back it up then reinstall it.
