5850 stated DDI:10.1?! DX10.1?

Also: Updated DirectX using the web updater

Yup. As airbot said, we both have. As posted above, iv even tried 9.11 Betas, no change. Might indeed be a MS bug

Pyton: Thank you for the feedback! Did you Install card on a preexhisting install, or reinstall of the OS?

And the August update includes:

The August 2009 release includes the most recent version of the Games for Windows documentation (1.4.2009). Changes include:

• Full details on Windows 7 applicability, particularly for the Game Explorer GDF version 2 schema (TR 1.1) and changes to Windows Family Safety/Parental Controls (TR 1.2)
• New Windows Vista and Windows 7 Technical Requirement (TR 1.8) for High-DPI Aware support.
• Refresh of the Games for Windows Showcase Appendix for showcase S.1, S.2, and S.3, as well as new showcases S.4, S.5, and S.6.

Bump
Still no fix

What does MS usually publish windows updates? Tuesday or thursday?

Hey Chris,

The final Windows Vista Platform update came out today,
Announcing Final Releases of Platform Update for Vista

here was the beta one that added DX11 and other updates to Win Vista.
Download Windows 7 Features for Vista SP2

Although the beta of this added DX11 to Vista, it didn't change the DDI version to 11. But just updated to the final with Vista, and now it shows DDI version 11. :) Maybe they have an update for Windows 7 soon. Still displays DX10 in the W.E.I assessment though.


You can see this thread over at Vistax64.com.
DX11 if you cant wait for MS - Vista Forums



So it does seem to be a Windows problem, and not the cards drivers.

Thanks Aaron!
Hopefully soon we will see DDI:11 on windows 7! :)

A320: I "think" It means that the system itself, windows 7, doesnt see that the card installed is a DirectX 11 card, and only a 10 or 10.1.

I do not know if this has any performance degrations, though. But for me, if i have something in my system, i want the system to see that its there! :)

WEI not showing a DirectX 11 card could lower that score, too. (not that those numbers mean much to me, but in any case, they are there)

Yep, have it posted here.
