Direct x issues · DIGIT-ARC

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.

ya found this info on tweakguide thanx for ur replies guys

gfx in Cod 2 at dx7 mode are very similar to gfx in Cod & UO, in dx9 rendering u see the difference

@tech_mastermind
Cod2 shud work smoothly with dx9 on ur 6600gt, right??

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 :evil:

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.

^^SP2 is supposed 2 have Dx 9.0c

A

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.

@Stalker
No...mine have only DirectX 9.0b not 9.0c including SP2

@akshayt
Wht u mean by 'clean format'

Did u mean i have to FORMAT my HDD :?:
