3DMark and Vista

#1 Post by hoplite » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:46 pm

Will 3DMark work with DX10? I'm assuming it won't. So the people that have run 3DMark have you all downgraded to DX9c? Or is there a way to get 3DMark to run using DX10?

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the newest version and it keeps looking for DX9c. I'm a little hesitant to uninstall DX10 and install DX9 just to run a benchmark.

Perhaps I'll wait until 3DMark puts out a DX10 compliant version. (Of course they might have already and I just don't know what I'm doing)

Cheers.

Yup I saw it. It still keeps looking for DX9c. Thanks for the link(s) though.

Cheers.

That is weird becasue Vista is supposed to only use DX10, you think they'd have that corrected. :?
