    G400/450/550 DX9 compatible drivers

    Brace yourself, Haig said that DirectX 9 compatible drivers for GXXX cards are en route.

    you should apply that patch once we release our DX9 compatable drivers for the G cards.

      It will be funny to see them sooner than the ones for Parhelia...

              I have a G400 on Win2k with DX9 installed, and I've played a few games since I've installed them...and had no problem.

              What does it means "DX9 compatible drivers"?? O__o

                  Most likely thoroughly tested for DX9 compatibility.

                      Does this mean that it will do all DX9 calls in software since the G400 can't do it?

                          No...for example how would you want to do pixel shaders in software?

                          I think it will be just "non-problematic with dx9"

                              They will be DX9 compatable
                              NOT DX9 capable in terms of all the new features in DX9

                                  G400 ain't even DX8 capable...
                                  I recall, the word "compatible" has caused lot of misunderstanding in past as well.

                                      He said compatable not compatible!
                                      According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

                                                          'cause the cards that are selling are the G450 and G550.
