DirectX 8.1

Hi all,

Just after some opinions on DirectX 8.1

You wouldn't BELIEVE the amount of positive and negative comments I have read

So then, what's the verdict? Good or Bad?



Thanks,

Thumbs up no problems

No problems here, I run DirectX 8.1 since it came out and all my games (Counter-Strike, Total Annihilation, Red Alert 2, Age of Empries, Worms 2, Aliens versus Predator etc. etc. etc.) work.

I have win xp and direct x 8.1 comes with it, I don't have any problems, I install on every machine I build(usually win98se) and again no problems.

OK, Thanks for all of the input and opinions

I already installed it and have no problems, better framerates in fact (Up by 10FPS in most programs)


Thanks again,

Perhaps I join the directX 8.1 review a little late, but I've got it, and I've had no probs with it.
