Does Windows Vista has inbuilt DirectX 9 or DirectX 10?

 

[Third Eye]

Vista has inbuilt DirectX 10.

 

[freshseasons]

Vista has Direct X 10 inbuilt.
Infact no other OS has DirectX 10 besides Vista.
Is it usable...i really dont know at this stage cuz i have yet to see any Direct X 10 decent game or application.
Hold your horses a bit as MS is announcing Direct X 10.1

directx 10

OK Ok ok!

I was asking this because my Computer showed 9.0c yesterday!

Vista have both, DX 10 and DX 9.0c, when u are running in a Card which doesnt support DX 10.0 vista will run under DX 9.0c, and Vista even shows DX 10 with 6200 LE

Then, my Card is FX5200 which supports upto DirectX 9, but Vista shows DirectX 10? Why?

Wait a minute, am i to understand that i can switch from 9 to 10 and vice versa in Vista ?

 

[rakeshishere]

NO! but DX 10 is backward compatible with DX 9.0 and 9.0c ...All old games/apps will work with DX10 ..B/w FYI Vista SP1 will release DX v10.1 & sadly all old DX 10 gfx cards will become obsolete

as said by, rakesh, you cant actually switch between them manually from the OS.... Vista comes with support for both engines DX 10 and DX 9.0... so, its the OS which will chose to under which DX version... it depends on the hardware you are using... if you have a GRFX card DX 10 compatible then it will run under DX 10 other waise will run under DX 9 !!!!
