Your Questions About Directx

Donna asks…

how much more powerful will the best nvidia directx 11 card be compared to the best nvidia directx 10 card?

Im talking about the directx 11 cards coming soon.

Nagesh answers:

Probably more powerful by 1…
But seriously, the power of the card is independent of DirectX, being measured by such things as RAM and the speed thereof, processors and the speed thereof, etc…

Betty asks…

How do you update so you can start using DirectX 10/11 for Civilization 5?

I’ve confirmed that i have directx 10 installed on my machine and all the patches (i’ve assumed) have automatically downloaded from steam, but i cannot start it using directx 10. I can play with DX9 but i think it would be cool to play it on DX10
and if possible avoid getting a new video card

Nagesh answers:

You need to have the latest update for it. Civilization 5 is different in that if they release an update you need to restart steam to pick it up unlike other games which will update if you were already connected to Steam.

Mandy asks…

How do i get directx for windows xp?

So i was downloading medieval 2 from steam and when it finished it asked me if I wanted to download directx.I just clicked cancel and now my game won’t run.

Nagesh answers:

Windows has directx already.

Directx has two parts

the hardware(the bios of your GPU)
the software eg DirectX 9(windows)

the directX features used is the LOWEST of the two.

So if your gpu supports dx8 thats all you get

if your gpu is DX11 but windows is dx8 DX8 is all you get.

So your game needs a certain DX version
it probably also needs a certain Shader value and an Opengl version or openCL version.

Anyway you can add a higher DX to windows in some cases.

So i suggest you download it, but you should check your GPU capabilities too.

Nagesh answers:

What kind of card do you have in you’re computer?

Jenny asks…

How do I enable DirectX 11 for game graphics?

I recently enabled DX11 in the graphic options within the game and it worked fine. When I tried to load the game later it failed so I reset the graphics and it then worked. However, I no longer have the option for DirectX 11, only 9 & 10. 11 worked fine while I was playing and I don’t know why the option as gone.

Nagesh answers:

Might help if you listed your pc specs and the game
