Directx 10 card and Windows 7 64 questions please
Hello - Having had a plenty of problems with software conflicts on the 64 bit version I am wary of putting stuff on the PC I am not sure about. I am also struggling to find any info that I can understand on the net, so grateful for any knowledge please
I have an ATI 4850, which is supported up to DirectX 10.1, and I want to play Dragon Age 2, which will run dx 11 with dx 9 and 10 support. I understand that 10.1 was a Vista release, and that 11 is a W7.
Two questions please:
- Is direct x11 bundled with W7?
-If so, how can I check if it is installed?
-If I have directx 11, will it be backwards compatible with a directx 10 card or will it confuse the GPU/system? (granted that it will therefore not run all the dx11 features)
-If I do not have dx 11, where can I get dx10 for W7, as cannot find it on W7 MS site?
Many thanks!
