I'm going to put Direct X 9.0 b on a system I am building. The graphics card package said that the card supports Direct X 8.1. Is DirectX 9.0 b compatible with this ATI card? Would 9.0 b be better?
 
If im not mistaken the Radeon9000 is NOT DirectX9 capable (not in hardware at least)
:)
 
Fair enough, not that many games actually explicitly require DirectX9 hardware support :) ... for now anyways

:), it is hardware component, as you cannot make an old graphic card fully compatible with DirectX 9, so does you cannot make it compatible with OpenGL 1.3 with software. unable to change. but it will surely run applications that are on openGL 1.3. btw why do you need it? OpenGL cards are specifiaclly designed for workstations, where 3D modelling and animation is required. i think some video games does as well support OpenGL accelerations.

DirectX higher will run on older cards, but the thing is it will not cater the video standards set in the directX 9.0 or above.

in ATi, DirectX 9.0 started coming from Radeon 9500/9700
and in nVidia it started from FX series.
 
Yes, I got the ATI CD with all the stuff. In package.

Later, I can just update the catalyst drivers (already downloaded from Internet, burned to blank CD) After I install Windows XP. Thank you for your patience and responses, it means a lot. :)
 
catalyst will show that compatibility slider is up to 1.3, but it will not support, try it if you are doubtful. I had sold out 200+ ATi cards on eBay (ranging from 9500 - 9800XT) i know my stuff

Are you referring to the same type of dealy as the GF4MX's "support" for DirectX8?
