9c is for XP.

Win7 uses 11.

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground, or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group.

Some apps still need DX9 installed. And you CAN install it. Just go to this Microsoft site.

Actually, Windows 7 natively uses DirectX 10. 11 can be installed if you are trying to play a game that uses it, but 11 does not ship with Windows 7.

...as of build 7127, Windows 7 has had DX11 in the box. This was verified back in May. You can check for yourself by runnign the command dxdiag from a command prompt. Please don't confuse the version of DX your graphics card uses with what is installed in the OS.

If you are runnign Vista, there will be a downloadable update available in a couple weeks.

I wasn't confusing my graphics card version with the 7 shipping version. I simply wasn't aware of the change.
