How To: Upgrade Windows Vista To DirectX 11

DirectX 11 is the newest version of the API and it offers the greatest range of features. If you're already running Windows 7, you're all set, since it's included with Microsoft's latest operating system. But what about the thousands upon thousands of gaming PCs still running Windows Vista? After all, having taken a fair bit of criticism for the way it handled DirectX 10, Microsoft says it has learned from its past mistakes and promises to do better this time around.

The message is clear: Windows Vista will be able to upgrade from DirectX 10 to version 11. Windows XP, on the other hand, is stuck with DirectX 9. End of story.

For anyone that couldn't be bothered to read the article ( which you should to as it tells you how to update) windows already has the script to enable the dx11 update for vista...microsoft is conveniently holding the update back so that people rush out to buy win7 for dx11, but if you follow the easy guide you can unlock the update now, and windows updater will automatically download the rest of the update ( which is being held back for service pack 3)

Where the hell all your Bubble went? My guess is that you probably ruffled some Consoles Fanboys feathers.

Here have a bubble for being one of the few level headed poster around here. Not many left around here.

Nihilism5324d ago

cheers, yeah that's pretty much the reason, but i have had 2 bubbles forever, i can't see it changing anytime soon, but thanks anyway.

darkmurder5324d ago

I gave you a bubble chalfont I'm with your crusade against console fanbots!

jjesso19935324d ago

so what graphics card support dx11 at the moment iam saving up for gaming pc with 4gb ram quad core processor 1tb HDD and was thinking getting gtx 260 or the 285 depends on what i can afford so can any of these cards support dx11 ?

z1ck5324d ago

no currently the only dx11 cards are the hd 5000 series .

PotNoodle5324d ago

Yeah, currently the only cards that support DX11 are ATI's 5750, 5770, 5850 and 5870.

ps3ftwin5324d ago

you will need to go for ati if you need dx11 at the moment.

ati is very competitve on the pricing.

remember that spending 50-100usd extra on a gpu can go along way in helping improve your system performance.

if you must cut costs.. do it on the cpu... or the motherboard etc. never on the gpu.

NecrumSlavery5324d ago

PC tech is moving way to fast.

Pandamobile5324d ago

We're not stuck with ancient console hardware, so yeah, stuff tends to progress forward.

Hauntii (PC) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "As debut indie games go, Hauntii is among the best you’ll find, and it's one that shares elements with such critical darlings as Super Mario Odyssey and the Ori titles. Those would be big shoes for anyone to fill, but Hauntii dives right into the task while firing on all cylinders, from the novelty of its gameplay, to the wide array of emotions found in its story and music, and while it might not be able to compete with the very best when it comes to pure polish, the high points of the experience can match even those gaming giants."

Helldivers 2 studio hires new CEO, but Pilestedt isn’t going anywhere

Pilestedt writes: "Hey everyone,

Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS ! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games)

But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2 ? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!"

we need Sonys concord to turn out good - so I dont have to buy this.,

1, its time for a change,
2, mw3 has so much content its a joke, will keep me busy for when I fancy scratching the 'itch for twitch'

ThinkThink14h ago

Purple, save your money on COD. I'm sure concord will turn out well. Could always just get the new COD on gamepass.

purple10114h ago

I only have a laptop, (which is an M2pro Mac) and ps5, so would have to stream cod with gamepass ultimate.
or, I could also just buy it off ebay half price, like I normally do, but yeh, fancy a change.

Good multiplayer games that have content updates every so often, or a lot of content to begin with don't need sequels every year, ones that have all that are good for a few years to keep you playing.
