ATI DirectX 9 Radians Driver
May 26, 2009
As you are probably aware, ATI has moved it's support for DirectX 9 Radeon's to legacy. All cards older than the Radeon HD generation will now only receive quarterly updates. So that makes Catalyst 9.3 the latest driver for the older generation ATI Radeon's, and 9.6 probably the next.
ATI Reduces Support for Older Graphics Cards - Lab Notes by ExtremeTech
I have a X1950 Pro and would like to try Windows 7 RC soon. As far as I understand, Windows 7 RC comes with a driver for the older generation ATI cards, but without Catalyst Control Center. I also don't know whether the driver can run the full Areo skin. Therefore I would really like ATI to release Windows 7 drivers for the DirectX 9 generation. Although these cards are not fast enough anymore to run todays games, I would think that they are fully capable to run Windows 7 and all its eye candy.
So the next Catalyst release that we can expect for DirectX 9 Radeon's is probably 9.6. However, I have no idea whether these will also include Windows 7 drivers. I contacted AMD about this issue and I got the following response:
There are no pre HD card drivers for Windows 7. Perhaps if more people requested this to our feedback crew, this might change. From this answer I still do not get whether we can expect Windows 7 drivers in the future, or not. Anyway, we now know what we (DirectX 9 Radeon's owners) are supposed to do..

1. Bioshock wants me to install DirextX 9.0c. I was wondering if installing this will mess up DirectX11.
2. I'm using a DX10 video card so the Dx10 features on my DX10 games should work wil DX11 right?

I *WAS* having this problem trying to play RIFT Beta, however, a quick search of your forum gave me just the answer that solved my problem. The launcher would start, then I would click play, and a directx update window would open, when I clicked the next button on the installer for directx (the window did not provide a version), I would get the error box telling me to look in my directx.log file, which contained many lines of error code about missing cab files. I then used the link provided in a closed thread on this forum that took me to the Microsoft Directx software page, I downloaded the latest rev of the runtime sdk kit, after 6 minutes of installation, RIFT launched perfectly. I have Win7 home premium 64bit running on a standard shelf version of an hp box with intel i3 core and intel onboard video... Here is the link I used: [URL]

Just to give everyone a heads up. A new updater for Direct X is available.
9.27.1734 - 9/11/09
I check for updates once a month. Even on 7. So everyone should update
Even though windows 7 has DX11, you should always update the direct x. Older games still require these updates. I see alot of ATI Cat issues solved after installing these aswell.

When I go to dxdiag, on the display tab, it says direct 3D acceleratoin: Not available. And I need to enable it for a game.Another weird thing that might have something to do wiht the problem: In the device manager, when I open Display adapters section, there is one item called "Standard VGA graphics adapter", and my graphics card is ATI Radeon Mobility 5650, which is not shown there.

this gives me an Error "Failed to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system the minimu requirements of Company of Heroes. Verify that DirectX is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system." this annoys me! i know i have directX and it is v11. the minimu req of the game is DirectX9c better if you have the latest.

I am running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit which comes with directx 11. My graphics card (AMD Sapphire HD 4850)supports only upto directx 10.1. I need directx 10.1 or at least directx 10 but I have not been able to find it anywhere. But my primary question is(assuming finding the link is unsuccessful) "Is it possible to extract just the directx 10 files from the windows vista dvd and install it in windows 7?"

Quote: AMD set to release DirectX 11 graphics card
The launch of AMD's DirectX 11 graphics card will coincide with Microsoft's Windows 7 launch in October
Advanced Micro Devices will soon launch a graphics card that supports Microsoft's DirectX 11, which aims to make graphics in Windows 7 seem smoother and more realistic.
The release of AMD's first DirectX 11 graphics card would coincide with the launch of Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7, AMD spokesman John Taylor said on Thursday.
The DirectX 11 graphics card will belong to the ATI Radeon line, but Taylor declined further comment on product details or pricing.
The graphics card maker has been demonstrating an ATI Radeon graphics card with DirectX 11 support since June, but has not made a specific product announcement yet.
Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 has built-in support for new DirectX 11 tools, but there is no hardware available yet that supports those tools. With the new card, AMD will beat rival Nvidia to market.
Nvidia has also said it would support DirectX 11, but has not yet made a product announcement. Intel, which mostly offers integrated graphics on chipsets, in June released updated graphics drivers for Windows 7, but offered support for only DirectX 10.
The DirectX 11 tools include a set of APIs for realistic images and better sound when playing games or watching movies. For example, game developers will be able to create smoother and realistic images in a game through better three-dimension modelling.
Most of the discrete graphics cards support existing DirectX 10 and 10.1 tools, which are built into Windows Vista.
DirectX 11 tools are also designed to help Windows 7 recognize multicore systems to improve performance of graphics and other applications.
A feature called "Compute Shader" harnesses the parallel processing capabilities of GPUs (graphics processing units) to improve gaming on PCs. These improvements could make games more realistic through faster frame rates.
The tools also help break up multiple tasks effectively over existing CPU and GPU cores. For example, DirectX 11 will enable video conversion on the fly simply by dragging and dropping video from PCs to portable devices. Read more at the forums...

i have ASUS K42JP, with AMD Radeon HD 6570M (2GB).this is Performance info, in system rating window which says directX version is 10 and here is dxdiag which says its version is 11
my question is which one do i believe? here's the display page of dxdiag, which shows memory of 1702MB, in 64-bit, while once i put 32-bit in it and it became about 3500MB, how do i increase it? i mean it should display the shared system memory which is 3765MB.i have installed the graphics display .

As I understand it, Windows 7 includes DX11, which is backward compatible with DX10 cards (which is what I have - 8600GTS). However, I began to wonder as to whether or not the new DX11 could be causing the unresolved issues with crappy video quality as compared to the same exact video being run in XP (with previous DX version, I believe it's 9).
No matter what codecs I install/uninstall, the video just looks worse in quality on Windows 7 than it does in XP. Does anything think this could possibly be a DX issue? If so, is there anything I can do about this?

[code] Lately my DirectX 11 disables itself. I have to reboot to fix it. The last time it happened Aero was still working. I turned off Aero and turned it on again and it doesn't work. In dxdiag, DirectDraw, Direct3D, and Texture all are disabled. DDI Version also shows as Unknown. I restarted and all is fine. I have had Windows 7 for about a month now and this has only happened the past 1-2 weeks. My ATI drivers are from Asus and are 8.703.Is there any other information I should look for and post?
