DirectX 8.0 ?

CephaloP · 10-07-2002, 03:44 PM

I see that there is a DirectX 8.0 now. Since the requirement for the SSA is 6.0, is there an improvement if you upgrade to the new version?

Nope!!

I thought we were up to DirectX 9?

SereneScreen Aquarium still uses 100% DirectX 6 code.

Ok then. Seemed like there was kind of a little hassle you had to go through to install it on XP anyway. Just wondered if there was any reason to do so.

XP comes with DirectX 8.1.
