Title: Somehow I'vew got DirX 10 loaded
Post by: humble on August 01, 2007, 07:57:17 PM

I certainly dont need it (running a 7900GT). How do I roll it back on a Vista box?

Vista comes with DirectX 10.

Vista demands DX10. DX10 was created to seamlessly mesh with the paranoid way Vista checks, double checks, and triple checks its own hardware to prevent people from cracking DVDs illegally


You want to get rid of DX10, you have to drop down to XP/2K.

You can't.  DirectX 9 is not available for Vista, and DirectX 10 is only available for Vista.

I'm setup as a XP/Vista/Linux box so booting into xp for AH isnt a problem. Wonder if that is causing the occasional VC issues I have in vista since my card is technically a DirX 9 card...

No, DX10 will support DX9 cards.

DX10 cards just means that it has hardware chips on the card that can be used for shading, pixels, textures, or whatever the function requires (instead of hard-coded pixel shaders and vertex pipelines, etc, that you find in DX9 cards).

DX10 shouldn't have problems with DX9 cards.


That is to say, no more than the whole crappy shebang has with DX10 cards :D
