Along the lines of what Essenbe has mentioned, one way of finding out what windows says about your video capabilites is:
WIN + PAUSE/BREAK key combo | Performance Information and Tools (at bottom of left-hand column) | View and print detailed performance and system information (in center area underneath your Base Score) | at the bottom of the Graphics section you will see DirectX version.
WIN is the key with the Microsoft flag on top.
You can also run DXDIAG.EXE
In the systems tab of the resulting display, the last item listed will be the DirectX version.
Only trouble here is that on my laptop, the first method I mentioned says DirectX 10 and DxDiag says DirectX 11.
I have DX 11 but not sure if my graphicsa card is dx 10 compatable how would I find out?
Graphics Card: Intel (R) HD Graphics
Installing now, chrome says 11mins left
Sorry, this may sound stupid but what SIW
Finished the download, it didn't help, sorry, any chance we can move the entire post to the game section now? Because I know people dont like it when its in the wrong place
