5850 stated DDI:10.1?! DX10.1?

[ussj4brolli]

is there anything out that supports DX11 yet..??, if not that could be the issue..... when it detects DX11 capable S/W the DXDIAG may change.

its certainly DX11 ready.

a little list of dx11 games, not sure if any are available just yet though. DIRECT X 11 games list ....

Battleforge has a DirectX 11 patch. Not 100% using the DX11, but none the less, using a % of it that isnt on a 10.1 card. I got the game from Wallmart last night, havnt installed it yet.

Look at this reply from a microsoft MOD:
DXDIAG displays ddi:10.1 with a DirectX 11 gfx card
LOL

You should also state that it still shows 10 in the view and print details for the wei assessment also.

Thanks.
Edited post.
You would think this would be a big bug considering windows 7 has alot of hype on dx11 things.

i installed the areo dx11 acceleration too...i dont see a difference, lol
i have this issue posted at ATI Forums, Microsoft Forums, and here.

Airbot: What versions are you showing under CCC?
8.66-090918a-088869e
2d: 8.01.01.961
3d: 8.14.10.0700
GL: 6.14.10.9017
CCC: 2009:0918.2132.36825

Using drivers from diamond, just replaced the ones on AMD (amds are newer, i think). Just to see if andthing would change. no change

 

[Airbot]

AMds are newer

 

[ussj4brolli]

Thanks
9.11 betas i just installed. still same issue.

 

[Pytan]

Well i Run a Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 and it still shows DDI Version 10.1 also for me.

Version: 8.660.6.0 Driver

Just one question: have you updated directx?

August 2009 Redist.

 

[Airbot]

Yeah, both of us have, doesn't change.

 

[ussj4brolli]

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.
• New Recommended Best Practices Appendix.

Bump
Still no fix

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

Hey guys,

Just got my new MSI 5870 into the case today and was reading some of the threads on here about this card. Thought I'd check what mine shows and it's synonymous with your results.

On the system tab it shows Direct X 11 but on the next tab under DDI mine shows 10.1 as well.

What does this all mean anyway?

My install was normal (9.10 Win7 x64), I switched from nvidia to this, used all the proper driver cleaners, safe mode, etc and also updated directx as well.

Hey Chris,

The final Windows Vista Platform update came out today,
http://www.sevenforums.com/news/32598-announcing-final-releases-platform-update-vista.html

here was the beta one that added DX11 and other updates to Win Vista.
http://www.sevenforums.com/news/24399-download-windows-7-features-vista-sp2.html

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. :huh:


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)
