morbo, thats what mine looks like now too after i tried to fix my shutdown hangup, except my says windows xp lol now when i hit ctrl alt delete i get the little dialog box with six options, shut down, log off, task manager, etc

Is this DirectX 10 for Vista? or 9+ for XP? It's not very clear....


..ah just answered my own question. Sorry about the echo in here -any real improvements? better you be the guinea pig than me

i honestly havent noticed any difference at all, but i use 9 so im sure there were no changes to it anyways

Where do the downloaded files need to be extracted to? There are a lot of files!..


or do you just extract to desktop & click the dx setup icon and install the same way as video drivers? please help..

yea just extract wherever and run the setup

hmm haven't noticed any difference on Vista 64... Crysis is crashing..but that is normal...

hehehehe

jesus, just use the Dx websetup.

yes yes, i alreddy did that (thanks blindartist) initially i wasnt sure if the files needed to be extracted to a specific location thats why.

still cant see much difference tho..

I have been hearing past few months that some games have both DirectX 9 as well as DirectX 10 support.

But I am not quite sure how to know which Version of DirectX my graphics card is using (assuming my graphics card supports DirectX10).

Can somebody help me...

some cards feature support for both dx 9 + 10 , however, their ability to use these features depends upon which operating system you are using...

Assuming that your profile says the truth (who knows ), you have a Radeon X1950 wich

is an excellent DX9 only card

Don't bother looking for DX10 on your computer, you can't use it, as a lot of people, including myself

Both dx10 and vista are stinking piles of crap. Who wants a massive performance loss for a bit of extra motion blur? If you ask me there are better options for improved image quality.

Being a newbei, I posted the query wrongly. Sorry for that.

But it is not specific to my configuration, but in general. Also my question relates with Vista OS. I know XP does not support DX10

I was searching internet badly to answer this query, but didn't find a proper literature on this.

Tweak, it all depends on the card, for ATI anything with HD infront of the card series number (eg HD 2900) supports dx10 and for nvidia all 8000 series and above cards support dx10, but if your not sure then check the box or quickly google the card's spec's and you shouldnt have any trouble finding out
