[neptunes]

does your vid card have to be top of the line to use dx9?

cause I have a radeon 7200 and I'm wodering if I should really bother.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

You should always have the latest version!

 

[crawlingpeter]

[Chony]

[DSN2K]

[neptunes]

You should always have the latest version!

what's the use when most games don't have dx9 features...

EDIT: except for the uber/graphic intensive games

 

[Doom_Bringer]

This will be packed with Service Pack 2 which is comming in August. You just get it now IMO!

 

[Teknopathetic]

"what's the use when most games don't have dx9 features..."

Er, so you can RUN games.

I JUST INSTALLED HOLY SHIT IT'S A TOTALLY NEW WORLD

 

[epmode]

i accept the agreement, and it instantly says the program installed successfully, even though nothing happened. am i doing something wrong?

edit: maybe it's because i'm using a service pack 2 release candidate.

DirectX 9.0c has a silent instal (no UI, and no reboot) which is available to Microsoft Volume License Customers (VLC) on the following Microsoft Volume License Site (MVLS).

well yeah, but dxdiag still lists it as 9.0b

 

[Mejilan]

Why does B show up in Windows Update but not C?

 

[epmode]

ah, screw it. i'll just wait until service pack 2 is released.

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

[Doom_Bringer]

Where do I uh.... extract the files to?

LOL

 

[tenchir]

9.0c adds shader 3.0 support

Uh no.... Shader 3.0 has already been in DirectX 9.0 before c(probably b too).

 

[Mrbob]

Uh no.... Shader 3.0 has already been in DirectX 9.0 before c(probably b too).

BZZZ. You need DX9.0C for SM 3.0.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

What's new?

just going by the alter dates (all the others were like last year)

 

[Doom_Bringer]

well yeah, but dxdiag still lists it as 9.0b

shows c for me

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

hideos......

 

[Doom_Bringer]

hideos......

stfu

 

[dream]

Pretty sure SM 3.0 was always in DX9 -- it just wasn't exposed until 9.0c.

 

[tenchir]

BZZZ. You need DX9.0C for SM 3.0.

Hmmm, guess you right. I was wondering at first how people are running FarCry 1.2 with SM3.0 enabled if 9.0c wasn't released yet, then remember there was a beta 9.0c.

 

[aerofx]

hideos......

ahaha I don't know why but that made me laugh.

 

[SKluck]

What? I've had 9.0c for over a month.

 

[Mrbob]

What the heck.

DX 9.0C killed my Farcry game performance! I need that 1.2 Farcry patch...!

 

[Diomedeskun]

I have always waited for a little while on each DirectX since one of the early versions killed my computer. I believe it was 3, and it was not corrected until 5 shortly after. That's right, 5, not 4.

 

[Teknopathetic]

There wasn't a DX4.

 

[gofreak]

Hurrah, the Summer 2004 SDK update is available too..I only downloaded the Summer 2003 update last week

 

[Ryu]

That 1.2 patch was removed from ubisoft for some performance problems being mentioned -- anyone have any links to the patches on some sites? I'd like to download it and see if my performance improves at all.

 

[Kon Tiki]

hideos......

Yes?
