    DirectX 7... anyone knows release date?

    I heard somewhere that it should already have been released yesterday but nothing happened. Does anyone know more? Haig?

    The gold version went out to beta testers today so I woudn't expect to see it til the the end of the month. I am using RC4 and haven't noticed anything special, the speed appears to be exactly the same as DirectX 6.1. I get more speed by overclocking my card then DirectX 7 did.

      Hunslo- Is this the actual DX7 or a beta release? I will wait if it's beta but I looked on microsofts site and windows update and it's not there yet.Thanks

        Of course it's not the final version.

              I installed it, but didn't do any gaming yet, but no problems so far.

                I installed it, and played games for a long time. No problems whatsoever. It did not mention anything about BETA however

                  As Hunsow intimates, DX7 from http://www.nethn.com/download/Dx7core.exe is the final beta. Use DXDiag and you'll find that most of the files are clearly indicated to be beta. I've been using for about a week with several DirectX games with no problems, and no noticeable difference. However, many people are reporting increased performance in Unreal, which I don't play.

                    The DX7 from the reactorcritical site is the final retail version according to DXDIAG, no BETA files listed. All diag tests fully functional.
