DX 10,11?

[Vidiot_X]

I was wondering how many out there might be using DX 10 or 11 video cards. It looks as if I will be adding support for DX 10 and 11 soon. Another BlitzMax user ( col ) is developing such a driver add it looks very promising.

 

So shout-out if you have a DX 10 or 11 capable video card.

How do you tell?

[Vidiot_X]

If you run DXDIAG.exe select the display tab and under drivers it will list 'DDI Version' which will tell you what it supports. For example a DX-9 card would typically have a DDI Version of '9Ex' . You can run DXDIAG.EXE from the command prompt console or in the the system32 directory.

 

I also established a poll so you can vote there as well.

Any new card will support it, so yeah...

DirectX Version: DirectX 11

DDI Version: 9Ex

 

Don't rely on the DDI Version, since there are some issues on Vista and 7 where it reports the wrong one.

That maybe true some of the time but generally it's a good way to check. The best is to look up the specs on a video card online.

 

BTW, what card are you using? DX-11 will run DX-9 cards, for example I have an on-board Nvidia GeForce 6150se nForce 430 (on a year old low end Win 7 system) which reports the same as yours but in fact only supports DX-7 and DX-9.
