Windows 7 - 5850 stated DDI:10.1?! DX10.1?

**ussj4brolli** · 10-16-2009

Hmm, I have a Diamond ATI 5850, just came today.
Uninstalled drives (had 2x 4850). Then used Driver Sweeper 2.0.5, cleaned all ati drivers. Downloaded newest drivers for 58xx (10/13/09), then installed. Everythings installed fine.

But:
In DXDIAG, under DDI it stated 10.1
WTF?
Im guessing its just the drivers not yet fully mature. Wanted feedback from other 5xxx users.

lol, I get the same with my 5770. Not sure if Windows 7 is not recognizing it, or a failing of the current beta drivers for the 5800/5700 cards.

Must be. Dont see anything from the ATI Forums (place is a joke), so i came to the best forum.

I Wonder if even using a "dx11" game, it would benefit in performace if that stated DDI:11

Any idea if the drivers posted now, are the "hotfix" for 9.10 and we haveto wait untill 9.11 arrives?

Also: Updated DirectX using the web updater

Reads TV (my monitor) just fine via HDMI came still (2x 4850s were perfect too)
Anyone want my 4850`s?

I'm pretty sure the beta drivers for it are supposed to be 9.10, but have to see if final 9.10 brings any difference. If you run the latest GPU-Z, it will show dx11 with that, so like I said, not sure if it's a prob. with Windows 7 recognizing, or the drivers.

It's definitely a software issue. The 48xx series shows DirectX 11 in dxdiag.

**Airbot** · 10-16-2009

Hi SE,

You mean at the front display window of dxdiag? Yeah, it has always said dx11 there, since the beta I think. I believe it should show under the second "Display" tab with dxdiag, under DDI version- , it will still show 10.1. And the WEI report page will still show DX10, which I don't think it should be, with a DX11 card.

Only 5000 series are DX11, no 4000 are.

Eyeball: Airbot is correct (obviously he is...just...helping the point along :P)
Airbot: Thank you for your feedback!

Got ya. Now I'm the same page, I see what you mean. It will still be sorted by either a driver or directx update.

Hopefully that changes in 9.10, due to these drivers arnt being WHQL either.
