Isn't very high dx 10 only? Xp doesn't have dx 10.

umarrehman187 · Sep 9, 2009

oh yeah maybe thats why, i ve got d x 11 on this windows 7 now i know thanx mate!

That is absolutely correct. VERY HIGH in Crysis is DX10 which XP does not support. And unless you have a DX11 card (which arent out yet) you dont have DX11 (cant use the features even though the OS supports it).

umarrehman187 · Sep 9, 2009

well when i go on dxdiag it says the dx i got is 11, i can get you a proof picture of it if you want?

umarrehman187 · Sep 9, 2009

oh yeah one more thing if i install pcmark, it says you need to have direct x 9 april 2005 part, if i say yes to that will it install over the lastest dx i got and put dx 9 there?

EarthDog · Sep 9, 2009

DX9 and 10 can be on at the same time. You likey dont need to install it.

Directx 9c is an update to Directx 9. Go ahead and install it if it asks. If you don't need it nothing will be installed. As Earthdog said, newer versions won't be overwritten.

Your video card doesn't support DX11. Windows will run it in DX10 or 9 mode depending what the game supports.

I thought there was a tweak to get the extra visuals on XP? Or close to them.

EarthDog · Sep 9, 2009

Xp and DX10. thats a bunch of hooey. I saw that rumor a couple years ago but it was never working properly.

It requires the game developers to make it work with a patch of the game, something most if not all devs are not willing to put time into.

that may be a part of it, but I remember only having to patch/switch something in the driver... let me look it up...Alky project rings a bell.

I was right.

EarthDog · Sep 9, 2009

It still isnt true DX10. Look what it says...

Enhancing on DX9:
It is a very tweakable game. Crytek have given us the ability to tweak many many things to reach Very High equivalent settings and even far far beyond. I will give you a break down of every exact Very High setting(used in DX10) for reference. This is the real list of every setting and their values. So you can use this list and mimic exactly very high in DX9 to the fullest extent possible. Just add this list to an autoexec.cfg and you will have very high for DX9.

Too many disclaimers in there, yes? but honestly, what is the distinction between the two?

On WINDOWS 7 i can play crysis on very high, on windows xp i cannot? :s
