My system specs are at the bottom in my sig. Anyways, i am using a Visiontek ATI Radeon 2400 HD PRO PCI card. Using the Visiontek Driver 8.3. Now this might be a driver issue and until Visiontek releases an updated driver, i am stuck with this problem. Anyway, when i go to my DXDIAG tool, and do a D3D test, you know the spinning cube, well Direct 8 and Direct 9 cubes are spinning normal and smooth. But Direct X7 the cube is spinning weird, it skips a bit and jerks around. I read somewhere that the 2400 HD cards doesn't support Direct X7, only 8, 9 and 10. Now i didn't have this problem with no other card expect this one. Even with my Geforce 6200 overclocked 256mb pci card this problem never showed up. So anyway, by directX7 spinning so slowly and jerking around, READ: Some of my older and new games moves really really choppy and drags alot. I can't even play games like UNREAL GOLD, a game which came out in 1999 right? The game moves choppy, slow frame rates, etc. So i wanted to know, should i have a D3D X7.DLL file located in my system32 folder or should i just wait for another driver? Also keep in mind, this doesn't happen with every older game, only a few of them. When heavy textures come into play, the game starts to move slow. Has anyone else had this problem before? Do directX10 cards have a problem with " some old directx games?"
