I recently rebuilt my system and added a GeForce FX AGP card, after installing the drivers and DirectX 9.0b I went in to the system imformation files and looked up DirectX and ran the test for everything all worked fine. Then I went into my adaptor information box and noticed that it reads my DirectX as 8.1 this it seems is having an effect on one of the games that I play causing slow downs and skipping. I reinstalled all the drivers still nothing changes, the only thing that I haven't done is to update the firmware of the video card, I have the update but haven't extracted it to a floppy yet thinking that the card is so new (Gainward 780/FX GeForce 256mb) that a flash won't work, if anyone has a fix for that or info that could help It would really help me out....... thanks,

Dan

First of all does your card support DX9.0b?
I looked at the Gainward site but your card seems to be newer than ones they have listed.

I would as most would ASSUME that the card supports DX9.0a but i think you'd be better off CONFIRMING via email from their support page.

If you want, you can completely remove Direct X and start fresh by visiting here and downloading the uninstaller. It comes with instructions, please read carefully before removing DX software.

In future, it is best to post questions in the Technical Q&A section. YOU will gain more points that way.
