Title: DirectX 9a is out
Post by: akak on March 27, 2003, 05:15:41 AM

DirectX 9a (http://www.microsoft.com/directx) is out.  It seems to be more of a bug fix relating to ATI cards and the latest Catalyst driver package.

Sounds like another case of Microsoft passing the buck.

So, it seems that DirectX9a is out again. I got it before they pulled it, and also have the newest detanator drivers from nVidia (just came out, v43), and my FPS in most of my games actually improved for once! Just about 10-15 FPS.  I can say it is nice though, on my system.
