Directx11 Causing Problems

LilWinglet · Aug 5, 2013

Directx 11 Causing games to run terribly. What i mean by this is, I have a very good computer (550 ti nvidia graphics card, 850 watt power thingy, 8 core processor). When i ran blacklight retribution, The main menu and any game would stutter and have a maximum of 5 fps even if the settings were down to the lowest. After turning off directx 11 it went up to 60 and above. Now with War of the Roses, I cant turn off its direct x 11. My graphics card drivers are up to date, and I got a new motherboard and windows 7 awhile back. On my old motherboard and old windows 7 (It wasn't geniune, long story), war of the roses ran Perfectly fine. Please help!

Might just be a problem with DX, try updating it-you'll have to get onto the Microsoft website for this, it does not autoupdate with Windows.

550 ti is a budget video card 2 years ago, what resolution are you running it at?

LilWinglet · Aug 5, 2013

If i try to update it it says that its up to date. Then says that their might be a problem with the installation. If i try to reinstall it using the thing it gives me it says theres a internal system error. rgd i can run it at max resolution no problem. 550 ti is better then you think it is

May not be a software problem-at least not with DX but to be sure run Dxdiag.
Also, long shot but are ALL the drivers installed and updated-sound, chipset, motherboard features etc?

directx 11 required a lot more then directx 9.

For coozie, I have an asus mother board. How do i check to see if my motherboard drivers are up to date? My sound ones come with my graphics card ones, and my dxdiag said no problems were found. Rgd, If i put all my settings down to low, and put them up to high on War of the Roses, it has the same fps and stuttering. My computer can handle it i'm sure.

Odd.
The motherboard will have come with a DVD containing its drivers, as long as they are installed it should be OK.
Make sure you are playing in full screen and not a window, some cards will not fully activate their hardware acceleration with a game in windowed mode.
Run a virus and malware sweep, if the games are online perhaps something nasty is getting triggered when you log in and play.

War of the Roses and Blacklight Retribution are on steam, their fine. I always play in full screen. How can i see if i'm missing a driver that I need? I think that might be the culprit.

Someone. Please help! I tried to run the directx runtime thing on microsoft downloads, and it said that it might not of been installed correctly. I click the reinstall, then it gives me an internal system error.

Win 7 can be funny about those messages.
Try this to clear up any possible driver issues:
Download the latest driver, ONLY from the Nvidia site and save it, do not install yet.
Download and install something like Driversweeper.
Uninstall all your Nvidia drivers, software and profiles.
Restart in Safe Mode and run the driver cleaning software-check what it's going to delete!
Restart normally and install the drivers you saved earlier.

By uninstall everything, do you mean the two 3d vision drivers, geforce experience, graphics driver, the two audio ones, and the PhysX system software one? Basically everything with NVIDIA in the control panel uninstall?

LilWinglet · Aug 6, 2013

I cant. Once i got to uninstalling the graphics, it asked for a reboot. So i did, but it was automatically installing something. It happened with the audio uninstall also, causing me to reboot, but then it automatically installed all of my drivers. I couldnt cancel it. Do i just go into safe mode, driversweep, and install the drivers from the folder?

coozie7 · Aug 6, 2013

When it asks you to reboot, you should have either a 'no' or 'reboot later' option, select that option and carry to uninstall all the other software, selecting 'no' or 'reboot later' each time you are asked to reboot until it's all gone.
Once it has all been uninstalled restart in Safe Mode and run the driversweeper then.
Remember to check what the sweeper is going to delete!
Once the delete/sweep is over, restart normally, Windows will install its own basic drivers, just ignore it and install the drivers you saved earlier.
This time you should reboot

If i click restart later it wont let me uninstall the other drivers until my computer restarted D: Atleast from the control panel uninstall

coozie7 · Aug 7, 2013

I'm not familiar with Nvida software (AMD fanboi

), but it sounds like the uninstaller has done all the work, just restart in Safe Mode and proceed from there.

I think its just my 550 TI isn't as good as I thought it was. Directx might be too taxing on it D:

DX11 shouldn't be cause THAT much of a performance hit; does sound driver related to me.

At this point, use a program like driversweeper to make sure the drivers are fully uninstalled, then grab the latest official off the NVIDIA website.

LilWinglet · Aug 9, 2013

It has to do with DX11, on blacklight retribution i get the same effect if i turn on directx11 in the settings

TinyTitan · Aug 9, 2013

What resolution and settings are you playing on? The 550ti can't handle current gen games at 1980 1080 very well.

LilWinglet · Aug 11, 2013

It doesnt matter if everything is at high or low, or the resolution at 1920x 1080 or 800x600, it has the same fps and stutter
