No DX 10?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Sorry if it's in the wrong place, I wasn't sure if I should have put this in the OS section or here. A mod can feel free to move the thread if need be. I just noticed a strange bug on my 6831-FX. NONE of my games will give me the Directx 10 option. The directx-10 options on both Bioshock and Crysis are disabled still as if I'm playing in XP. It's like they don't even realize that DX 10 is there. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Games are patched and up to date. Windows Vista Home Premium, also fully up to date including Service Pack 1. Video driver issue maybe?

Are you using the stock Gateway driver? because it doesn't have dx10 in it. You would have to update the driver.

Ah! That would do it then. Why would it not have DX10.....? Whatever, OEM FTL. So where should I grab a fully functional driver? Gateway or Laptopvideo2go? I was looking at the ones on Laptopvideo2go, but wasn't sure which one I should go with. Recommendations?

So I went and grabbed the 169.09 driver from laptopvideo. So far it works great. Thanx.
