Im having a problem with a VisionTech ATI HD 2600. I installed it and all of its drivers. The card itself works great. Can play anything i throw at it. However, when i go and look into the specs of it, i see that the version of the DirectX isn't right. It says DirectX 9 instead of DirectX 10. I did install Halo CE which did install DX 9 but i don't think that that is the problem. Now i know VisionTek doesn't make the best Graphics card in the world. But Circuit City had a really good deal on them and i figured that it was worth a try. Any suggestions as to how i can fix this or is my GPU just a piece of shit?
 
that would be why, xp only supports dx9. your card is dx10 capable but since you are running xp, it can only dx9. if you had vista, then it would show dx10.
 
it has dx10 technology, but windows xp can only utilize dx9 technology. so until you go to an operating system that supports dx10, your card will only work as dx9.
 
dam that sux, i dont plan on going and dropping couple hundred bucks soon for that. thanks for the help!!!
 
no need to worry though, there isn't enought dx10 games out there yet to want to have vista. i'd say your fine with xp and the card you chose.
 
ya, the only game out right now that i kinda want is crysis. I thought that the review on this card were pretty negitive, so far ive had no problem with it. DX10 and AGP are a kinda hard combination to find.
