DirectX 9.0C!

[tom10167]

Hey, I just saw this, this has got to be very, very recent, as I just reinstalled everything 2 weeks ago. All I can really find about it is that it "improves the graphics, security, and performance of your operating system. " I viewed the first page of games, and Microsoft, and didn't see anything, so what are your thoughts on this?

I know the beta version has been out for quite some time. Not exactly sure when the released the final version.

I don't buy that. Perhaps in beta, but like I said, I reformatted, and in Windows Update it only gave me version B.

Does it do anything noticable?

 

[Mr. Chambers]

They might have just not had it on Windows Update. I formatted a machine not to long ago, and I just checked, and it does indeed have the 9.0c, so who knows.

At any rate, they never really boost performance of a machine THAT much, generally they just add new features in my experience.

all i know is that i have had DX 9.0c on my computer for a while. its definitely been out for a bit now

 

[Shuzzy]

yea, i got it a few months ago i think. never really noticed anything from it though.

 

[Leviathan41]

Yeah, the final version has been out at least 2 months. I noticed a very slight difference.

It is included with XP SP2 along with a stand-alone install also.

[MODdaBOX]

iv had it for a long time i think it was on the doom 3 disk

 

[Oni]

It just became available on Windows Update, but it has been readily available from the DirectX website since late July in a web installer or a re-distributable.

DirectX 9.0c has been out for quite some months. July, I think. The redistributable(~30mb) has been on the directx website for sometime, and then it comes with ServicePack2 (~200mb).

So grab the redistributable if you don't want SP2.

 

[tom10167]

I see. Well, I noticed no difference.
