Solve : To Calum....or anyone...about DirectX 10? |
|
Answer» I'm a bit confused. In the Graphics Card FAQ's you wrote DX10 DirectX 10. This is the newest in Microsoft's DirectX software series. It allows for better, more realistic graphics, but only the newest cards support this. Windows Vista is also necessary, as no other operating system supports DirectX10 at this point. ATI/AMD Cards with a HD in front, or from the Geforce 8, 9 or GTX 280/260 FAMILIES support DX10. But I have seen a few cards on ebay that say they have DirectX 10 and it supports XP and even 2000. Is this correct?? BTW the Graphics card FAQ's is excellant. Well done!!eBay = lies.DX10 cannot install on XP or 2000. I was inclined to believe you guys. Just thought I'd throw the question in. P.S Once again the Graphics card FAQ's is fantastic. It has helped immensely. Thanks For anyone else reading this. If you need help with your PC, this is the only site you'll need. Well Done, guysTo add to BC and patio's posts, what the Ebay ads likely mean is that the card will work on XP, which is true, it's just that DirectX10 will not work on XP so the card will work in DX9 mode. Glad you like the FAQ.Oh, So the DirectX10 will work with XP, but only at DirectX9. This gives me more options. So, if I was thinking of UPGRADING to Vista it would be a good idea to get a DX10 then.A DirectX 10 card is not necessary, unless you want a top-end card to play DX10 games. A DX10 card will work with XP, yes. But would I need a DX10 for Vista or would a DX9 work??DX9 works AFAIK- DX10 is for games, I believe....A DX9 capable card would work fine in Vista, if the drivers are available (only a worry for older cards). DX10 is only required if you want to play certain games in DX10 mode. O.K Thanks againQuote from: reddevilggg on February 15, 2009, 03:18:40 PM
I think they meant the card can run in XP and 2000 (There's the right drivers for them as well and will support the DX 9.0C or whatever the latest DX9 version supported is) but ONLY Windows Vista, Windows 7 and whatever else microsoft decides to build after that will support DX10. I hear DX11 is in the works but it's too early to talk DX11. Thanks, m_260, for answering that .......errrrr..........again!Quote from: reddevilggg on February 17, 2009, 03:10:00 AM
