It will help you get the most out of your hardware and optimize it for running intense programs, games, and graphically difficult files. DirectX 9 is one of the earliest versions of this application.
Most games and applications will require you to run DirectX, at least a version of it. Newer versions merely add new components, not change existing components.DirectX 9 is an application designed to keep your Windows computer running and display graphically intense files and programs.
DirectX 9.0 should still support the IDirectDraw COM object. Each new version provides the interfaces of all the old versions. Saying that you will support a new version of DirectX makes no sense. > any of the extra features (and I am talking as if I had a card that could use > note of the release and maybe support it – i’m not going to cos i’ll never use > Other developers using DX8 SDK (like me – for my final year project) will take I thought that was taken back a while ago when he announced that DirectX and OpenGL were about equal in features and usability. > despite the fact that he prefers OpenGL (and with good cause – it’s not M$). > Basically games folk would have had their mits on this for a while – even carmack It is no fun having to spend an hour or two trying to start a game that you just purchased. Personally, if I will have to troubleshoot my computer, I would rather do it now instead of when I get a new game that requires it. One is an Athlon XP 1.4 GHz and the other is an older Slot A Athlon 950 MHz. I have not seen much of a difference with either of the two Athlon PCs here, although they do have 256 MB of RAM. > recently that I got DX8 installed, BTW. > from experience, I find the newer version more resource hungry. > Unless there is a game that needs it, I wouldn’t install a new version, Normally, It is much more likely that the games, drivers, or hardware would crash, and I would suspect from your post that it is the latter two. DirectX is itself merely a COM interface to the hardware that games use. In all seven versions of DirectX that were publicly released, I cannot remember a single patch or upgrade that was required to fix a lock-up issue. no changes could be noticed, but for one that dx9 locks up different games (Q3,ĭirectX does not lock up games.
