dx9.0c available

copernicus · May 30, 2004

i found it here. http://forums.guru3d.com/forumdisplay.php?&forumid=21

i dld the updated one from page 19. installed as per instructions and got a nice increase in performance in farcry with the 61.11 drivers, especially indooors running on high settings. aa/med af/4. but i'd still play it safe and consider it beta. enjoy

cool might try it out later

runsalone · May 30, 2004

Anyone try this?

Wonder if it's anything like the nightmarish direct x 9.0a beta that hosed my operating system. Be wary, my friends.

Microsoft's "official" software is buggy enough, though it's nice to know that C is right around the corner.

Does anyone know what this version offers over the 9.0b?

Sophisticated · May 30, 2004

I know it supports pixel shader 3.0. There are probably some other improvments as well.

Did anyone read that thread and notice the big improvements people were getting in IQ and benchmark scores with the NV cards? Is this what NV is counting on to save their a$$'s?

this 9.0c is just a rip from xp sp2.

I assume this means FarCry no longer exhibits those horrible blocky artifacts all over the indoor scenes and whatnot? And where did it speed up? Indoors? Outdoors?

copernicus · May 30, 2004

i never had any probs outside but indoors i had real low fps with all settings on high with no aa/af. i had to turn lighting and shadows to low to get it playable but now it's smooth as butter all on high. aa/med af/4

how the heck do you install thing thing? i clicked on it and it did something but i still have directx 9b

Gautam · May 31, 2004

Be careful with this, and do not install it if you've got Win2k. It has nixed some peoples' installations. I'd play it safe and wait a bit until they official release a stable version.

Nandro · May 31, 2004

I tried it and with my 9800XT it lowered my 03 mark by about 400 points. Maybe this only benefits the newer cards or the NV.

you got to install it in safe mode. when in safe mode double click the install.bat file.{ms dos batchfile} after that finishes, double click version fix. it will add some registry entries, then restart and you should be good to go

hmm doesnt work , i clicked on the exe and it extracted the stuff , then i thought it installed, do i un rar it first?
