Direct x issues

[iMav]

i have direct x 9 on my pc .... in call of duty 2 u have an option that allows u to select the rendering u want either dx 9 or dx 7 .... i have it on dx 7 and the game works smooth .... but when i select dx 9 the graphics become sexy but slow considerably one of the most noticable changes is that it snows in the winter if dx 9 is selected but does not if dx 7 is an option is there a way by which i can have snow but keep the rendering as dx 7 coz the performance is better

CoD2's weather effects & dynamic shadows are bcoz of dx 9 rendering.....................i don't think u can have these effects in dx7 rendering

COD 2 in DX7 play smooth but you see crappy graphics but in DX9 you see fps low and graphics becomes aweome.

No buddy,i get 25-32 fps,fps drops to below 20 when there is smoke.

^^same here, but i get less than 10 fps in that mode.

tweak guide says u need higher graphics card 1 from the geforce 6000 series for dx 9 rendering in cod 2

I also got problem with DirectX.I have DirectX 9.0b but whn i update it with 9.0c,it says that ur ver. has updated.But after restart it again shows 9.0b version I use 'Happy DirectX Uninstall' software but it's useless! AnyOne please tell me how to update DirectX 9.0b to 9.0c I have WinXP SP2 installed.

 

[Stalker]

^^SP2 is supposed 2 have Dx 9.0c

1)Use the following settings with Dx9:
10X7 or lower
Max settings in game or lower
No AA/AF
Test diff settings unless you arrive at the right settings.

2)Do a clean format and install 3rd party drivers.

3)What is your CPU and RAM. Try to overclock CPU, RAM and GPU.
