Guest PC Eejit Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Is DirectX 9 "safe" to use yet? - Or is it still a bit manky?I ask because I have just got a Connect3D Radeon 9500 Pro card ( despite my long held grudge against ATI ) and it's very very good. And very compatible with DX9 by all accounts. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarthy © ® ™ Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 I downloaded the small file called "dxwebsetup.exe" - 291kb, then double clicked it. This then linked for the DirectX9.0 files and downloaded about 8MB of files and auto installed them...No problems here either, although one of the files is listed as a beta version in "DXDIAG"???

Guest spook Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Been using it for a while now. Haven't looked too much into it, but it seems ok. Wish I had a graphics card that supported it though - then you'd really be sorted!Well - one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
