Question about video card and directx, TIA
Greetings.
If a PCI video card states on the box that it is directx 8 compatible and I install directx 9, will it cause any problems, like video corruption, etc.? Thank you. -- Take care. roadster3043 ICQ 154116780 Yahoo intuxicated MSN jmfix at hotmail dot com AIM roadster3043

No. At the moment, I have two video cards installed running two monitors. One is a GeForce 3 and the other is an generic TNT 2 card which is definitely not DirectX 9 compatible. My version of DirectX is 9.0c.

It means that the card is NOT DX9 capable. It is only DX8 capable.

correct! CAPABLE is the word not COMPATIBLE. Almost all video
cards are DX compatible. "DaveW" wrote in message news:w1ykd.18410$V41.3227@attbi_s52... It means that the card is NOT DX9 capable.
