Clearly these DirectX updates from Microsoft have to serve a purpose, but i cant seem to be able to find information on what exactly they do and how that would benefit me.
I just got my eVGA 7900 GTX (and completely loving its performance and clean operation), and for this reason i was wondering if i need this latest directX update.
I could tell you guys that i will be using my system to play full screen 1600x1200x32 AVI animations in Windows Media Player 10. The AVIs will either be uncompressed and running off a ramdisk or RLE compressed and running off hardisk.
Im guessing there is absolutely no benefit whatsoever with these DirectX updates for me, but i just have to ask.
PS1: What should i choose in the performance options in In windows media player 10? There is the 'use hardware overlay' or 'high quality mode' in the video mixing renderer options, as i have no clue as to which one would be better. I know microsoft says that the 'high quality mode' is for newer cards, which i guess may imply that its the better of the two. But maybe there is something i dont know. Any ideas?
PS2: eVGA rules! :sun:
