As the title suggests this poll is just a way of determining how many members are using Dx10 preview in FsX?
 
Oddly enough, my performance is worse with DX10*, so no.


*Despite using exclusively FSX native stuff (including AI models).
 
Wouldn't dream of going back to dx9... The sim looks a lot better and is much smoother in dx10.

DX10 exclusively - I was late to the FSX party so I've never not used DX10, and with Steve's fixer... excellent!
 
Very interesting results so far. Dx10 comes in a close second to Dx9 from our members. I thought that if Dx10 users came in at about 25% it would be quite incredible as with Steve Parsons Fixer still a very new option.
 
How do I tell what I'm using? I ran Dxdiag and it says I'm running DX-11. Does that mean FSX is making use of it? In FSX settings I don't have "Preview DX-10" checked. Do I have to tell FSX to "use" DX-11? How?

Ha ha, no problems Paul. If you decide to give Dx10 a go it's only going to be successful if you buy the Dx10 Fixer program, so it needs some money spent before you leap and if you're happy in Dx9 then stay there. What I like about Dx10 is that it shifts some of the cpu burden onto the gpu thus freeing up the cpu to operate more efficiently.
 
I voted Dx9 but sometimes try Dx10
when DX-10 came out M$ told us it was going to be better than sex, I just never got that far, lol
I never tried the fix, my old win7 64, I-7, 12 GB memory and gtx 260 just did not have the horsepower.

The GTX 260 probably would hold you back Ickie. I built my new rig with Dx10 in mind although I should have gone for a 4 gig GTX770...

I can't help wondering how many of the DX9-only responses were from folks with sentiments like mine:

While I'm intrigued and interested in what DX10 seems to offer, I find myself unsure of the steps to be taken in order to make it work.

And then too, there's the well-ingrained fear of (not for the first time) failing to leave well enough alone and royally cocking-up my "reasonable" FSX lashup, with no means of getting back to where I started.

[Sigh!] I suspect I've become more timorous with age.

Totally understand! Don't forget - every success story has a few failures to be found in it - and I was no different! (and I'm 69)

Take a full read of the How-To guide, HighGround, as well as the Fixer manual, both in the sig below. An organised backup will be a safety net, and how to do that is early in the guide - ok!

While I'm here - the Guide has a much better read for ATI users, along with a "tentative" fix for dual-monitor problems.

All the Best,

pj
 
I cannot afford a GTX-770 at this time, I just had to rebuild this coumpter 2 days ago and a new 900/1500 w UPS
